  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.

  Red Haired Archaeologist Digs Israel

  $15.99

  Travel Israel-past and present-to learn about its people and its God with Harvard-trained biblical archaeologist, whimsical storyteller, and sunscreen advocate Amanda Hope Haley.

  Despite what’s seen in the Indiana Jones movies, archaeology isn’t a fast-paced quest to recover legendary objects lost to time. Scholar and writer Amanda Hope Haley’s digs in Israel have been dusty, rigorous, and objective hunts for clues that reveal the world as it existed when the Bible was written.

  In The Red-Haired Archaeologist Digs Israel, Amanda travels the lands of the Bible-a trowel in one hand and a camera in the other. Discover with her how Christians can…
  *use archaeological finds to better understand Israel’s history
  *shed a Western mindset and read the Bible in its original context
  *comprehend today’s religious conflicts in the Holy Land

  For anyone curious about Israel of the past and the present, The Red-Haired Archaeologist Digs Israel investigates the historical and modern contexts we need to understand both the Bible and God’s people, and features photos from Amanda’s archaeological digs. This two-week trip through the country, which begins as a search for the meanings of ancient Scripture, just might end with a clearer perception of our current neighbors and how Jesus would have us love them today.
