Archaeology and the People of the Bible

Exploring the Evidence for the Historical Existence of Bible CharactersTitus Kennedy

Did the people named on the pages of the Bible really exist? Who were these kings, generals, priests, administrators, prophets, governors, and scribes? Archaeological discoveries continue to provide ancient attestation for those named in the Bible, showing the historical reality of their existence.

Archaeology and the People of the Bible is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource on discoveries that demonstrate the existence of figures who appear in the Bible, including David, Hazael, Isaiah, Sargon, Jehoiachin, Belshazzar, Ahasuerus, Jesus, Caiaphas, Erastus, James, and more. You’ll find

  • entries addressing more than 130 people in the Old and New Testaments who are mentioned in archaeological inscriptions and ancient manuscripts
  • more than 200 photos and illustrations of archaeological discoveries that confirm the historicity of these individuals
  • a rating for and information about each person, indicating how clearly archaeological evidence supports their historical identification

 With clear writing, straightforward organization, and numerous references to ancient sources and discoveries through the ages, Archaeology and the People of the Bible is a vital guide for anyone who desires to better understand biblical archaeology and history.
