Interview with archaeologist Dr. Scott Stripling

Hello Bible Fiber listeners. Today we are doing something new that will become a monthly feature. Bible Fiber is starting up interviews with Bible scholars, archaeologists, and historians as part of a series we are calling Bible Fiber BFFs.Our first guest is someone who I have pretty regular interaction with as he is the provost of the seminary I attend, The Bible Seminar in Katy, Texas. Dr. Stripling is also the Director of Excavations for the Associates for Biblical Research at Khirbet el-Maqatir and Shiloh, Israel. We are catching him before he heads off to Israel for another excavation in Shiloh on May 14th!We talk about what it will be like carrying out an excavation during the middle of a regional war, what the daily dig process looks like logistically, and the importance of Shiloh in the Bible. Dr. Stripling  also expresses his hopes for the upcoming excavation season!Support the showConsider donating (one-time or recurring) to www.TheJerusalemConnection.us so we can continue to bring valuable content via podcasts free to the public.
