Unearthing the Bible: 101 Archaeological Discoveries That Bring the Bible to Life

Excellently researched and presented. Book and paper quality are both very high. What an enjoyable read - keep up the good work Dr Kennedy!

With geography and scientific proof 😍

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Brief and interesting notes on archaeological finds that do shed light on the historicity and truth of the Bible. As a believer and lover of ancient history and archaeology, this book was a must read. This did not disappoint.

This is quite an academic and technical work, providing solid archeological underpinnings for the Bible’s historical accuracy. I could see all this great info being presented in a deeper, more colourful way, putting it into its cultural and social context, which would widen its appeal.

The title should be “101 archaeological discoveries that we can very tentatively link with the bible” It’s a reasonable book, but apart from a few Old Testament finds there’s little to connect the discovery’s with the bible.

I had hoped that this book would take a more scholarly view of the Bible, but this is written with more of a faith perspective, using archaelogy to support the biblical narratives and cherrypicking the evidence to support its thesis. If I'd had the sense to read a sample before buying, I'd have saved my money. The text is deplorably "dumbed down". The book seems to have been written as a text book for a religious college course. If you want a scholarly treatise on the origins of the Bible, look elsewhere.

Ein absolut überzeugendes Buch, in dem die wichtigsten archäologischen Funde übersichtlich und strukturiert dargestellt werden und eindeutig aufzeigen, dass die Bibel ein historisch korrektes Buch ist. Die Bilder haben eine hohe Qualität und Dr. Kennedy führt chronologisch durch verschiedene Bücher der Bibel und stellt sehr sachlich die wichtigsten Funde vor. Er räumt damit einige Mythen auf, die die letzten Jahrzehnte die Bibel diskreditierten und hilft, den historischen Kontext der einzelnen Epochen und Bücher zu verstehen. Das Buch ist eine Schatzgrube für Archäologie-Begeisterte, aber auch tatsächlich für jeden Christen oder Bibel-Interessierten geeignet. Durch die vielen wissenschaftlich fundierten Beweise, die die Bibel belegen, wird tatsächlich der Glaube an sich und das Vertrauen in Gottes geschriebenes Wort bekräftigt. Glaube und Wissenschaft sind nun mal nicht komplett getrennt voneinander, ganz im Gegenteil, sie gehen Hand in Hand. Ein absolutes Muss, ich empfehle es auf jeden Fall weiter!

This is truly a superb presentation of the some of the most relevant and remarkable archeological discoveries relating to the Bible. Undoubtedly my favourite book on biblical history! Well categorized and enjoyable to read, this book is a must read for layman and scholar alike. Raphael Samuel MD

It feels like the Bible turns into Technicolor. Such amazing book is a must have for every Christian who wants to dig deeper in their faith.

A treasure enjoyed this book enormously

I gave it 5 stars because it deserves the flowers. I do wish the paper was a little better quality. I think it would help make the pictures pop more. Regardless, this book is worth every penny. I haven't found anything else like it. The book is clear, concise, and isn't bogged down with too many details - just the facts m'am. It's a perfect starting reference to send someone down 101 different rabbit holes. I hope someday he puts out a hardback version on thick, slick paper with beautiful, glossy photographs. That would be lovely. For now, this will more than suffice. You get just enough about each artifact to get you going. From there, you can decide how to use your favorite search engine.
