Hardback. Zustand: Good. Before the 1970s, biblical archaeology was the dominant research paradigm for those excavating the history of Palestine.

Biblical archaeology, he writes, was an attempt to ground the historical witness of the Bible in demonstrable historical reality.…

Oxford, University Press, 2004. X, 173 pp. Very good copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Thomas W. Davis charts the evolution and the demise of the discipline.
