Holden and Geisler have produced a masterful book on the apologetic value of biblical archeology. This incredible volume is at once both insightful and informative. It is accessible to readers of every level and enables them to dig into the wealth of materials that have been unearthed over the centuries. Don't miss this treasure trove of information that will make your Bible study come alive today and every day. <br> --<b>Ed Hindson, DMin, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Religion and Biblical Studies, Liberty University</b></p><br><br><p>Finding an up-to-date and reliable guide for the use of archaeology as evidence in apologetics has been a challenge. That challenge has been met with this helpful and timely resource. All who defend the faith will be grateful for the facts presented here! <br> --<b>Randall Price, PhD, Distinguished Research Professor, Center for Judaic Studies, Liberty University</b></p><br><br><p>In a day when the Bible is under constant attack, this book is a welcome defense of the Bible's reliability and accuracy. Intended for the layperson, the book introduces the reader to significant artifacts and manuscripts relating to the historical and textual reliability of the Bible. I highly recommend this user-friendly resource. <br> --<b>Ron Rhodes, ThD, President, Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries, Adjunct Professor of Theology and Apologetics, Veritas Evangelical Seminary</b></p><br><br><p>Introductory books on archaeology and the Bible that are both up-to-date and written from a Bible-honoring perspective are hard to come by. That's why I'm so pleased with the publication of <i>A Popular Handbook of Archaeology and the Bible</i>. It's important that both Bible believers and skeptics encounter the archaeological and historical evidences demonstrating the historical accuracy and authenticity of the Old and New Testaments. Geisler and Holden have done a remarkable job in compacting a great deal of information into a single volume that's lay-friendly and also valuable in an academic setting. I look forward to using this book in my archaeology classes! <br> --<b>Steven Collins, PhD, Dean, College of Archaeology, Trinity Southwest University, Director/Chief Archaeologist, Tall el-Hammam Excavation Project, Jordan</b></p><br><br><p>There are many books on archaeology, but Drs. Geisler and Holden have given us something more, namely, an archaeological apologetic of the veracity of the biblical text, along with helpful information that enables us to understand how archaeology may support our confidence in God's Word. I am pleased to be able to recommend the book. <br> --<b>H. Wayne House, ThD, JD, Distinguished Professor of Theology, Law, and Culture, Faith Evangelical Seminary</b></p><br><br><p>This book is a triumph in its field, delivering exactly what it promises to deliver. The formula has been attempted before, but Geisler and Holden are masters of the art of casting new illumination on familiar themes. Fully abreast with current archaeological scholarship, it informs the reader of the latest discoveries and discussions and explains their significance. A highlight of this volume is the number of charts tabulating every conceivable aspect of the subject from 'archaeologese' to a table enumerating New Testament persons cited in ancient non-Christian sources. <br> --<b>Leen Ritmeyer, PhD, Ritmeyer Archaeological Design</b></p><br><br><p>"<b><i>The Popular Handbook of Archaeology and the Bible</i></b> is the most comprehensive and useful book of archaeology I've ever seen."<br>--<b>Dr. Robert Lightner, adjunct professor, Dallas Theological Seminary</b></p><br><br><p>"What is unique about this book is that archaeological and historical facts are presented and shown to buttress the reliability of the biblical text. Included in the volume are a number of charts, tables and photos, which are helpful. This volume is highly recommended and should be in the library of every serious Bible student."<br><b>--Ralph E.
