Archæology and the Bible
George A. Barton, professor of biblical literature and Semitic languages at Bryn Mawr College and a former director of the American School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem, wrote this survey of what archaeology had revealed about the world of the Bible. The first part describes the lands of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Palestine, the history of their exploration and the light the excavations throw on biblical history. The second part gives English translations of ancient documents, inscriptions, laws, letters, myths and chronicles that confirm or illuminate the biblical text. Illustrated and widely used, it offers a picture of the field in the early twentieth century. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
