Biblical Archaeology Update: Big Week Ahead

And the latest unfounded attack against using the Bible in archaeology.
 

Later this week, scholars will present their reading of an ancient curse tablet discovered on Mt Ebal. This discovery may turn out to be the greatest discovery in biblical archaeology of the past decade. On today’s program, host Brent Nagtegaal previews the context of the tablet discovery. He also reviews author Andrew Lawler’s latest article which takes aim at archaeologists who would dare use the Bible as a scientific resource.
