Biblical archaeology has long been a discipline in crisis. "Biblical minimalists," who believe that the Bible contains little of actual historical fact, today are challenging those who accept the historicity of Scripture. In this volume Jewish and evangelical Christian archaeologists, historians, and biblical scholars confront the minimalist critique and offer positive alternatives. ^Bringing a needed scientific approach to biblical archaeology, the contributors construct a new paradigm that reads the Bible critically but sympathetically. Their work covers the full range of subjects relevant to understanding the context of the Bible, including proper approaches to scriptural interpretation, recent archaeological evidence, and new studies of Near Eastern texts and inscriptions.^Contributors: Richard E. Averbeck^Thomas W. Davis^Daniel E. Fleming^William W. Hallo^Richard S. Hess^James K. Hoffmeier^Harry A. Hoffner Jr.^David Merling^Alan Millard^Cynthia L. Miller^John M. Monson^Steven M. Ortiz^Benjamin Edidin Scolnic^Andrew G. Vaughn^David B. Weisberg^Edwin Yamauchi^K. Lawson Younger Jr.^Randall W. Younker^Ziony Zevit
