Loving our Neighbors Amidst Injustice and Unrest

The events of the last week remind us of the far-reaching effects of sin in our world and the deep pain that is born of historical oppression and public evil. How do Christians grieve, how do they lament, and how they love their neighbor in a time of racial injustice and civil unrest?

John Currid provides the reader with a wonderful introduction to important geographical, historical, and cultural aspects of the Bible. Readers will benefit from the archaeological and textual knowledge found here.

Richard S. Hess, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament and Editor

In this excellent work, John Currid starts by giving readers . . . an explanation of how to practice archaeology in the land of the Bible. He then takes readers on a tour of that land and explains numerous important facets of the biblical culture. Currid's work flows from the mind and heart of a person who well understands the discipline of archaeology and related fields, drawing from decades of excavation and study and ministry.

Boyd Seevers, Professor of Old Testament Studies

Leads the reader from the broader areas of the history and work of archaeology in the Holy Land, to specific consideration of archaeological work in the various regions of the land, and finally to important factors relating to life in ancient Israel. Currid's new work will be welcomed among those of us who desire a clear presentation of the geography, archaeology, and everyday life in the land of the Bible.

H. Wayne House, Distinguished Research Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies

This handbook explains how the archaeological enterprise has transformed our understanding of the land of Israel. It is a valuable reference for archaeology students going on their first dig, tourists on a pilgrimage tour, pastors, or tour leaders.

Steven M. Ortiz, Professor of Archaeology and Biblical Backgrounds, School of Theology, and Director
