The Archaeology of Biblical People: 101 Discoveries that Support the Reliability of the Bible (Biblical Archaeology)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Over 101 discoveries and people mentioned in the Bible (OT & NT) are treated in the book that have been confirmed by extra-biblical archaeological evidence from ancient writers, pottery, stelae, inscriptions, bullae (and seals), coins, and other artifacts. The top image on the front cover background is one of the panels of the black obelisk held in the British Museum that is one of the few depictions of an Israelite king. It is of King Jehu, offering tribute to the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III and named on the obelisk. The marble bust of Emperor Tiberius (Luke 3:1) from the Ephesus Archaeological Museum, Selçuk, Turkey is evident in the left hand corner, and is depicted and named on many coins (Matt 22:15–22; Mark 12:13–17; Luke 20:20–26). The bottom coin is of emperor Nero (Acts 25-26; 28:19; Rev 13; 17) and is impressed with his name. The top of the spine has the image of the reproduction of the bronze Shema Seal discovered at Megiddo in 1904 depicting the roaring lion as the symbol of Judah and the name of Jeroboam (1 Kgs 12–14). The inscriptions read “(Belonging) to Shema [top line] (the) Servant (of) Jeroboam [bottom line].” The book will include over 210 photos, charts and maps.
