Pondering the spade : discussing important convergences between archaeology and Old Testament studies / David B. Schreiner. - 1 online resource (x, 158 pages) : illustrations
Includes bibliographical references (pages 149-158).
Broad convergences. Mari ; The Gilgamesh Epic ; Ugarit ; Dead Sea Scrolls -- Narrow Convergences. The Tel Dan Stele ; The Taylor Prism ; Kuntillet Ajurd ; The Ketef Hinnom Amulets ; Mt. Ebal.
The close relationship between the Old Testament and archaeology goes without saying. However, the methodological nuances involved are often either underappreciated or ignored. Using William Dever's idea of convergence, this work attempts to flesh out details on how archaeology and Old Testament studies merge. It examines some of the most important archaeological finds to date and determines that, whether through a broad or narrow convergence, the history of research has shown that these two separate disciplines exhibit a tendency to inform one another. In the case of Old Testament studies, these convergences may even be paradigm-shifting. In every case, the convergences are historically and culturally informative, and therefore illuminate the depth of the biblical text.
