In an age of biblical skepticism, Joel Kramer delivers a refreshing perspective, emphasizing the profound connection between archaeology and the Bible. Utilizing scripture as a primary ancient text and important interpretive tool, Kramer explores the archaeological record at various holy sites. "How can we know these places are authentic?" is the question The Soul of Archaeology: Finding Jesus in the Holy Places seeks to answer by examining the archaeological layers at ten commemorated sites: five Old Testament-focused and five New Testament-focused. "Does it matter to know if these sites are authentic?" some may ask. Kramer's response is a resounding, yes! It matters because the Bible is not a made-up account of antiquity as many today claim. Peeling back layers of dirt and time, Kramer uncovers the archaeological evidence pointing to divine interactions with real people which shaped real locations into sites that thousands of years later are still considered holy places.--Publisher.
