BIBLICAL
ARCHAEOLOGY

Biblical Archaeology is often thought of as a field devoted solely to the excavation of sites in the Holy Land and the interpretation of their physical remains, but this was not always the case. When the discipline emerged in the 19th Century, ‘Biblical Archaeology’ was envisaged as a much broader category, including not only the vital discipline of archaeology proper, but also the study of the history, chronology, geography, philology, and literature of all the ancient cultures relevant to the study of the Bible. The Tyndale Fellowship Biblical Archaeology study group aims to recapture this original grouping of disciplines, and provide a home for evangelicals in the many specialisms contained within it.

 

We therefore welcome papers from those working on any aspect of the ancient Near Eastern, Egyptian, or Greco-Roman world, particularly as it relates to our understanding of the Bible.
