Publisher's Synopsis
Archeology's Solution of Old Testament Puzzles: How Pick and Spade are Answering the Destructive Criticism of the Bible is a book written by John Urquhart and originally published in 1906. The book explores the role of archeology in providing evidence for the historical accuracy of the Old Testament. Urquhart argues that the findings of archeologists, through the use of tools such as picks and spades, can help to answer criticisms of the Bible that suggest it is inaccurate or unreliable. Throughout the book, Urquhart examines a variety of Old Testament stories and events, such as the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan, and discusses how archeological discoveries have shed new light on these events. He also explores the ways in which archeology has helped to confirm the existence of various Old Testament figures, such as King David and King Solomon. Urquhart's book is aimed at both scholars and lay readers who are interested in the intersection of archeology and biblical studies. It provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the ways in which archeology has contributed to our understanding of the Old Testament, and argues that the Bible is a historically accurate and reliable text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
