Publisher: Master Books
Retail: $29.99
David Down has been a field archaeologist for over four decades, excavating regularly in Israel, and involved in numerous digs over the years. He is editor of the magazine “Archaeological Diggings.” from the back cover
Having taken only one archaeological course in college, I’m not very knowledgeable about the digging up part of the field but I have taken quite a few anthropology courses that utilize the information ‘dug’ up by archaeologists. I did find it to be quite refreshing that Down doesn’t automatically subject readers to evolutionist theories. His book presents Biblical records in accord with historical records to show that the Bible is accurate. Taking the above mentioned courses at secular colleges, I don’t recall hearing Down’s viewpoints or work prior to receiving this book.
This hardback book features 20 chapters and 4 Appendices. Each chapter starts with a simple timeline and a summary of the time frame to be discussed.
On every single page of this book are color images- photographs, maps, paintings, etc. The pages themselves are thick and glossy.
Throughout the entire book are comparison of Biblical records and historical records.

Looks good! I'll have to check into adding it to our bookshelves.
