What’s Inside the Archaeological Study Bible?


When most people first hear about the Archaeological Study Bible, they aren’t sure what to think.  An initial thought may be… “How is there an entire Bible devoted to archaeology?” And honestly, how could a study Bible devoted to archaeological study not be a snoozer?

But when you open up the Archaeological Study Bible and begin looking through it, odds are you’ll be impressed.

What’s Inside the Archaeological Study Bible

Mostly, articles.

The Archaeological Study Bible is a great resource, especially when it comes to articles!  There are over 500 articles covering five main categories:

  1. Archaeological Sites

These articles will answer questions you never knew you had. Plus, they are very easy to find in the app. Open the resource, then the table of contents. Select the subject index and bam! There are all the articles organized alphabetically, ready at your fingertips.

But just as many photos.

That’s right! There are nearly 500 images and detailed maps to help you really know what’s being talked about.
