Dr. Glueck explains that it is not the task of the archaeologist to prove the theology of the Bible. The Bible is first a book of theology and then a book of history. The archaeologist?s concern is with the Bible?s historicity. He searches the Bible for clues that will lead to discovery of old buried cities and, as a result, to an understanding of Biblical civilizations. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche) In an effort to understand the variety of places and times that formed the setting and background for the Bible, the Biblical archaeologist searches for ancient clues lost under the sands of the Holy Land. In Archaeology and the Bible, Dr. Nelson Glueck explores and analyzes some of the Biblical clues that have led to the exciting discovery of cities, temples, and artifacts. Pictures of the areas involved and examples of pottery and art dating from Biblical times illustrate the discussion. This series of 10 half-hour episodes was originally recorded on videotape.
