This is the story of the people who lived in the Negev region of Israel - largely desert - during the Byzantine period. This area of the world is one of the most important for the study of the beginnings of the Christian era. Slides, which accompany Dr. Glueck's commentary about the cities of Byzantine Empire, form a framework for a fascinating history of the period. (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.
