Course Description:

The Bible discusses many supernatural events that are largely unverifiable through scientific and historical means. Nevertheless, there are also many events that can be unearthed archaeologically and studied historically, adding to the depth of the biblical record and widening its cultural meaning. This series will look at a number of these archaeological events, considering the story of the Exodus, Joshua and the conquest of the land of Canaan, the Jewish kingdom, and archaeology from the time of Jesus.
