Description
About the Book
For Christians who know what they think the Bible says, a biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible, unveiling God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story.Book Synopsis
Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't- Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible
- Unveils God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story
When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.
In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.
From the Back Cover
Untangling the Sunday school stories you've learned from the biblical history you haven'tWhen we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and the giant, Jonah and the whale, and more. When Scripture itself lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced and recorded biblical events.
In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back two thousand years of flawed cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. She explains how misunderstandings developed and spotlights the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.
If you're tired of popular surface readings of Scripture and long to dig deeper, this book is your invitation to discover rich layers of meaning that have been there all along, waiting to be found.
