'For the past 200 years archaeological work has provided new information that allows people in the twenty-first century to peer into the hoary past and open chapters of human history that have not been read for centuries, or millennia, in some cases. One area in which archaeology has played a critical role in making the past come alive is in the Middle, or the Ancient, Near East...
'The archaeological remains from the Near East raise the following questions: Does this have anything to do with the Bible, the book that has profoundly influenced Western culture? Is there archaeological evidence that bears on the Bible? Are the narratives of the Bible, especially those from 3,000 and more years ago, myth or history? Is a scientific discipline like archaeology even compatible with an obviously religious book like the Bible? These are relevant questions that this book will seek to answer.' -- James K. Hoffmeier
