"This engaging book highlights how archaeological artifacts and
texts can be used to piece together a picture of the biblical past.
The authors present information in a clear, balanced, and highly
readable format that will have broad appeal. . . Can be used as a
textbook as well as a supplement to guidebooks on visits to museums
and archaeological sites." William G. Dever, University of
Arizona
"Lost Treasures of the Bible is ingenious, filling a need that both
scholars and laypeople have probably felt quite often. You have a
memory of an artifact illustrating life in biblical times, but what
exactly was it? And how can you access it conveniently? In this
veritable Larousse Arch?ologie, dozens and dozens of relevant
artifacts are located in their present whereabouts, described,
illustrated from original museum sources, and discussed with
admirable balance for their relationship to both the Old and New
Testaments. A great general reference work and fun to browse
through as well!" Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
"This book will assist museum visitors, but it could also be
enjoyed by 'armchair travellers', and even function as an
introductory textbook to biblical archaeology." The Bible Today
"Extraordinary resource book." Teaching the Bible
"Clyde Fant and Mitchell Reddish have written an excellent volume."
Master's Seminary Journal
