Stones Still Speak - How Biblical Archaeology Illuminates the Stories You Thought You Knew

Amanda Hope Haley

Editora: Revell

Sinopse

Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't   
 
· Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible 
· Unveils God's Word as one glorious, world-changing story 
 
When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories--Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events. 
 
In Stones Still Speak, Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2,000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical, archaeological, and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise, this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew, with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional, rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.
