The Bible in Its World
Book Review
So far, this is one of my favorites on biblical archaeology. It ranks up there with James B. Pritchard's Archaeology And The Old Testament. Kitchen is more thorough and goes deeper than Pritchard, and so each has charm in its own right. Kitchen gives me more in depth insights into some of the struggles of Archaeologists to agree on their findings along with a little more guidance on how to sort this out. He also gives more in depth information on the various archaeological finds. He is better sourced than Pritchard, but Prichard is a little more fun to read.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
