Author Description

Excerpt from The Bible and the Spade This little book was not written for the specialist; for him the explorers in Bible lands have told of their discoveries in volumes so many and so bulky that few have the time or the patience to read them. It speaks briey and simply only Of the discoveries which have shed a direct and wonderful light on the Bible. No novel is more fascinating than the stories the biblical archaeologist may tell, and it is hoped that the following pages may not only interest, but inspire the busy reader to a deeper and more intelligent study of The Book.
