“The Popular Handbook of Archaeology and the Bible is the most
comprehensive and useful book of archaeology I’ve ever seen.”
—Dr. Robert Lightner, adjunct professor, Dallas Theological
Seminary
“What is unique about this book is that archaeological and
historical facts are presented and shown to buttress the
reliability of the biblical text. Included in the volume are a
number of charts, tables and photos, which are helpful. This volume
is highly recommended and should be in the library of every serious
Bible student.”
—Ralph E. MacKenzie, author of Revealing Snapshots: People and
Events that Shaped Christianity
"This book is a triumph in its field, delivering exactly what it
promises to deliver. The formula has been attempted before, but
Geisler and Holden are masters of the art of casting new
illumination on familiar themes. Fully abreast with current
archaeological scholarship, it informs the reader of the latest
discoveries and discussions and explains their significance. A
highlight of this volume is the number of charts tabulating every
conceivable aspect of the subject from 'archaeologese' to a table
enumerating New Testament persons cited in ancient non-Christian
sources."
—Leen Ritmeyer, PhD, Ritmeyer Archaeological Design
"Introductory books on archaeology and the Bible that are both
up-to-date and written from a Bible-honoring perspective are hard
to come by. That's why I'm so pleased with the publication of A
Popular Handbook of Archaeology and the Bible. It's important that
both Bible believers and skeptics encounter the archaeological and
historical evidences demonstrating the historical accuracy and
authenticity of the Old and New Testaments. Geisler and Holden have
done a remarkable job in compacting a great deal of information
into a single volume that's lay-friendly and also valuable in an
academic setting. I look forward to using this book in my
archaeology classes!"
—Steven Collins, PhD, Dean, College of Archaeology, Trinity
Southwest University, Director/Chief Archaeologist, Tall el-Hammam
Excavation Project, Jordan
"In a day when the Bible is under constant attack, this book is a
welcome defense of the Bible's reliability and accuracy. Intended
for the layperson, the book introduces the reader to significant
artifacts and manuscripts relating to the historical and textual
reliability of the Bible. I highly recommend this user-friendly
resource."
—Ron Rhodes, ThD, President, Reasoning from the Scriptures
Ministries, Adjunct Professor of Theology and Apologetics, Veritas
Evangelical Seminary
"Finding an up-to-date and reliable guide for the use of
archaeology as evidence in apologetics has been a challenge. That
challenge has been met with this helpful and timely resource. All
who defend the faith will be grateful for the facts presented
here!"
—Randall Price, PhD, Distinguished Research Professor, Center for
Judaic Studies, Liberty University
"There are many books on archaeology, but Drs. Geisler and Holden
have given us something more, namely, an archaeological apologetic
of the veracity of the biblical text, along with helpful
information that enables us to understand how archaeology may
support our confidence in God's Word. I am pleased to be able to
recommend the book."
—H. Wayne House, ThD, JD, Distinguished Professor of Theology, Law,
and Culture, Faith Evangelical Seminary
"Drs. Holden and Geisler have produced a masterful book on the
apologetic value of biblical archeology. This incredible volume is
at once both insightful and informative. It is accessible to
readers of every level and enables them to dig into the wealth of
materials that have been unearthed over the centuries. Don't miss
this treasure trove of information that will make your Bible study
come alive today and every day."
—Ed Hindson, DMin, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Religion and
Biblical Studies, Liberty University
