Prophets, Idols and Diggers, first published in 1960, describes how the resources of modern science are used by the archeologist to reconstruct the life and times of the ancient world. It is a fascinating account of the way in which archeological discoveries confirm and support Biblical references to people, places and events.
Since the discovery of the ancient civilizations of Babylon, Nineveh and Tyre, the science of Biblical archeology has assumed increased importance. Forgotten cities have been unearthed, contemporary records of Biblical events have been found and the uniqueness of Biblical revelation has been confirmed.
