The World of the Old Testament

In 1845, an archeologist discovered the exact location where the city of Nineveh once stood... In 1947, among the Dead Sea scrolls, a complete book of Isaiah was discovered intact... The Ebla clay tablets, discovered in 1964, confirmed many of the names of people and towns in the Old Testament... The Assyrian cuneiform calendar, which intertwined the political events of the nation with the movements of the planets and stars, is helping scholars to more accurately date biblical events.

The World of the Old Testament combines the data obtained by scholars from secular sources with the narratives of the Scriptures to shed light on some mysteries of the ancient world.
