Jeremiah’s Polemic Against Idols

What archaeology can teach us
By Philip J. King
022023 Biblical archaeology envisions a dialogue between artifacts and the scriptural text. In many ways archaeology can provide the context that brings the text to life. Recently I completed a...

Burial Box of James the Brother of Jesus

Earliest archaeological evidence of Jesus found in Jerusalem
By André Lemaire

The Marzeah Amos Denounces—Using Archaeology to Interpret a Biblical Text

By Philip J. King
034 Archaeologists often accuse Biblical scholars of ignoring archaeological materials that could significantly illuminate the Biblical texts that scholars are studying. As one archaeologist recently put it: “Most [Biblical] commentators do not...

Why Lachish Matters

A Major Site Gets the Publication It Deserves
By Philip J. King
Among cities in ancient Judah, Lachish was second only to Jerusalem in importance. A principal Canaanite and, later, Israelite site, Lachish occupied a major tell (mound) 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem, nestled in the foothills of Judah (the region known as the Shephelah).

Solomon & Sheba, Inc.

New inscription confirms trade relations between “towns of Judah” and South Arabia
By André Lemaire
055 Southern Arabia is 1,200 miles south of Israel. Naturally, skepticism about the reality of trade between South Arabia and Israel in ancient times seems justified. Yet the Bible documents this trade quite extensively—most famously in the...

Are We Prepared to Raze the Edifice?

By André Lemaire

Gilgamesh—Like You’ve Never Seen Him Before

A New Translation by Stephen Mitchell
By Jack Meinhardt
Gilgamesh is at once our newest and our oldest, most venerable epic poem. Unlike Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, which have been broadly known since their composition around the late eighth century B.C. (except during the medieval Dark Age, when Greek learning was largely lost in the West), the first clay tablets inscribed with the Gilgamesh epic were found just 150 years ago, at the ancient Assyrian site of Nineveh in present-day northern Iraq.

The Great Eighth Century

By Philip J. King
022023 022 A century is a wholly arbitrary block of time. History surely does not proceed by 100-year chunks. And to mark the beginning and...
