Archaeological and Theological Studies of Jerusalem (10 vols.)
Overview
The phrase “the Holy Land,” evokes many thoughts and images from God’s Word, Jesus’ life, and our own Christian history. Nineteenth-century archaeological expeditions and surveys were fascinating to Western Christians who had grown up on the Bible and the Crusades, but hadn’t ever been able to explore the sacred ground itself. Archaeological and Theological Studies of Jerusalem brings this exciting historical period to life with narratives of travel and exploration, theological discussions, and archaeological discoveries, enhanced by hundreds of illustrations.
In this collection, heroes of exploration like Sir Charles Warren and Sir Charles William Wilson offer their travel stories, influential German philosopher Moses Mendelssohn expounds upon the plight of the Jews, and George Williams takes you on a historical and topographical tour of the Holy City. Over 4,500 pages of text and illustrations offer insights from a variety of perspectives, including those from topographers, linguists, architects, missionaries, and more. This collection is an excellent resource for Bible scholars searching for a comprehensive context of the Holy Land.
With Logos Bible Software, these valuable volumes are enhanced by cutting-edge research tools. Scripture citations appear on mouseover in your preferred English translation. Important terms link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library. Powerful topical searches help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Tablet and mobile apps let you take the discussion with you. With Logos Bible Software, the most efficient and comprehensive research tools are in one place, so you get the most out of your study.

Rodney, I don't know about anyone else but I like knowing the history of archaeological digs and sites. While a current journal will tell me about current digs it will usually be short on contextual information of findings at other related sites as well as detailed information for a site in question. A book level treatment can address those issues better. Also, time and new finds can help put in better context older finds. Just my opinion.

What is the point of publishing these works that originate from the 19th century?! A huge amount of extra excavations have been done since then. Better off investing in a current archaeological magazine reporting on discoveries made today. E.g., Archaeological Diggings (SDA) is a Christian journal and very current. Logos please consider offering that option - I would buy it in a heartbeat.
