 Bible Archaeology - An informative and engaging introduction to biblical archaeology, this book explores the histories, cultures, and social forces of the earliest civilizations.

The knowledge gained through these excavations will give you insight into the historical context and cultural setting of the biblical narratives. The result is a compelling look at the biblical text that allows you to see and truly experience the life and work of such godly men as Abraham and Moses, as well as Jesus and his disciples. With over 280 full-color maps and photographs. Alfred Hoerth and John McRay, Baker Books

 The Quest: Revealing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem - ABR's own Gary Byers says: "I have spent a considerable amount of time with Ritmeyer. I have introduced him numerous times before he gave a presentation. This is what I usually say: There is no one alive today, Christian, Moslem or Jew, who has seen, measured, drawn and photographed more of the Temple Mount than Leen Ritmeyer." No book is better suited to the study, understanding and development of the manmade plateau that is the focus of the world’s interest—the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Ritmeyer’s experience as architect of the Temple Mount Excavations following the Six-Day War, coupled with his exploration of parts of the mount now hardly accessible and his doctoral research into the problems of the Temple Mount make him singularly qualified for the task.

 100 Reasons to Trust Old Testament History - Is the OT of the Bible true? More often than not, the Bible is dismissed as a mythological history of the Israelite people. This book looks at what archaeology has actually discovered about Biblical times and how that relates to the stories of the Old Testament. Meant for the average Christian and skeptic alike, this book makes a solid case that the historical foundation of the Bible is solid.
Murray Hiebert, Westbourne

 The Dead Sea Scrolls - In 1947, the imaginations of the scholarly world were staggered by the accidental discovery of some of the most important written materials ever to arise from the sands of the Mediterranean world. Here were books of the Old Testament written in Hebrew that were 1000 years older than the principal texts used in all modern translations. This booklet tells the amazing story of their discovery, what they contributed to cultural and religious studies and why they are on the front pages of newspapers around the world. John J. Davis, Pinegrove

 Giving the Sense: Understanding and Using Old Testament Historical Texts - Brimming with insights, this volume by evangelical scholars explores a broad range of Old Testament studies. The contributors explore methodological issues, survey the five major eras in Israel's history, and focus on specific issues related to understanding Old Testament historical texts - such as the dating of the Exodus, the use of large numbers during Israel's monarchy, and the literary features in the book of Esther. Compiled in honor of Eugene H. Merrill, professor of Old Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and staff member of the ABR excavation at Kh. el-Maqatir, Israel, this volume helps students of the Old Testament understand how to "give the sense" (in the words of Nehemiah 8:8) of what God's Word says in historical narratives.
Of particular value to those interested in archaeology are the following chapters:
• Archaeology and Biblical History: Its Uses and Abuses, by Eugene H. Merrill
• Dating the Patriarchal Age: The Contribution of Ancient Near Eastern Texts, by Mark F. Rooker
• The Date of the Exodus, by William H. Shea
• From Ramesses to Shiloh: Archaeological Discoveries Bearing on the Exodus-Judges Period, by Bryant G. Wood
• Conquest, Infiltration, Revolt, or Resettlement? What Really Happened During the Exodus-Judges Period? by Carl G. Rasmussen
