Alumnus Dr. David Schreiner announces the release of his new book Pondering the Spade: Discussing Important Convergences between Archaeology and Old Testament Studies.
Here is a short overview:
“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. “
It is available by paperback and e-book and may be purchased by going clicking this link.
David received his masters in Biblical Studies from Asbury in 2007 and went on to obtain his doctorate in the same field in 2012. Congrats on your publication!
