About the Book

As a field combining two interpretive disciplines, biblical archaeology is often--and understandably-- misunderstood. So if Indiana Jones (or a televangelist, for that matter) comes to mind when thinking of biblical archaeology, think again. In Layer by Layer: A Primer on Biblical Archaeology, Ellen White effectively and engagingly dispels common myths about this field of inquiry, demonstrating the history and importance of the dialogue between biblical studies and archaeology. She does this by introducing the methodology and goals of each of these disciplines and by using case studies with real examples from both modern and biblical times. With a robust glossary, study questions, dozens of images and maps, and recommendations for additional resources, Layer by Layer lays the foundation for students both familiar and new to this field.

Table of Contents:
Contents Preface 1. Mythbusters 2. The Bible and the Spade 3. Archaeology 101 4. Engaging Exegesis 5. Biblical Exegesis and Archaeology: Stronger Together Glossary of Terms Index

About the Author :
Ellen White has her doctorate in Hebrew Bible from the University of St. Michael's College and was the senior editor at the Biblical Archaeology Society. She has taught at several universities and has been actively involved in archaeological digs at various sites in Israel.

Review :
Layer by Layer is an excellent companion to courses in either biblical studies or archaeology, introducing students of both disciplines to methodology used by their colleagues that will benefit their own studies. Ellen White draws upon her own experiences to vividly and candidly describe what it is like to do archaeological fieldwork and what such work has contributed to answering some of the major questions posed by the Bible. --Tony Burke York University Toronto Layer by Layer is a helpful, engaging primer on the intersection of archaeology and biblical studies. Pictures, charts, and pop culture references will engage students while providing professors plenty of classroom resources. Ellen White makes a convincing case that the disciplines of archaeology and biblical studies are stronger in dialogue. Layer by Layer not only introduces the methods of archaeology, but also the basics of biblical exegesis. Respect for both disciplines is evident throughout. --Heather Macumber Providence University
