Episode 21: The Bible and Archeology, What you need to know!

In this episode, Dr. Botner discusses the relationship of the Bible and archeology with two esteemed archaeologists and biblical scholars, Dr. Cynthia Schafer-Elliott and Dr. Jonathan Greer. What do archeologists actually do? Can archeology "prove" the Bible? And if not, what is its role in biblical studies? We candidly discuss the pitfalls of imposing modern standards on ancient texts and how interdisciplinary approaches are essential to fully understand the past. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the nuanced relationship between archaeology and the Bible, as well as be encouraged to pursue a deeper appreciation for reading the Bible as ancient literature.Dr. Shafer-Elliott's books 👉https://www.amazon.com/stores/Cynthia-Shafer-Elliott/author/B00DXG8X52?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueDr. Greer's Behind the Scenes of the Old Testament 👉 https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Scenes-Old-Testament-Historical-ebook/dp/B07D6XDZNL/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2H84JV23NGUG8&keywords=jonathan+greer&qid=1692218538&s=digital-text&sprefix=jonathan+greer%2Cdigital-text%2C152&sr=1-3Follow Dr. Botner on social media:Facebook page: 👉 https://www.facebook.com/MABotner/ Twitter: 👉 https://twitter.com/maxbotner/ TikTok: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/drmaxbotner/ Instagram: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/drmaxbotner/
