Excerpt from Biblical ArchaeologyThe little book on Biblical Archaeology now offered to the public is a child of necessity. When the author began to teach this branch of study in the class-room, be cast about for a suitable textbook of sufficiently small compass, but failed to find one, the only book that would probably have served the purpose being out of print. Therefore he felt constrained to write a little treatise on the subject himself.The product of his labors is not the fruit of original re search, but is based on the larger works of George Adam Smith, C. F. Keil, J. Th. De Visser, J. Benzinger e. A. Hastings Dictionary of the Bible too has been consulted frequently. Technical Hebrew and Greek terms were avoided as much as possible to make the work acceptable to general Bible classes as well as to theologians. Maps and illustrations, however desirable in a book of this kind, were also left out, since they would make it too expensive. Moreover for the sake of brevity all arguments on disputed points were omitted, which opens up a fine opportunity for the teacher.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
