"This book is about relations--intimate relations--that exist between all that is living: between the cosmos and humanity, between the cosmos and God, and between God and humanity. It is also about relations--essential relations--that exist within all that is living: within an evolving cosmos, within a developing humanity, and within the living God. It is moreover about relations that are fundamentally constitutive of cosmic, human, and divine being and thus provide a clue to the nature of reality itself."--Intro., p. 11.

As a field combining two interpretive disciplines, biblical archaeology is often--and understandably-- misunderstood. So if Indiana Jones (or a televangelist, for that matter) comes to mind when thinking of biblical archaeology, think again. In Layer by Layer: A Primer on Biblical Archaeology, Ellen White effectively and engagingly dispels common myths about this field of inquiry, demonstrating the history and importance of the dialogue between biblical studies and archaeology. She does this by introducing the methodology and goals of each of these disciplines and by using case studies with real examples from both modern and biblical times. With a robust glossary, study questions, dozens of images and maps, and recommendations for additional resources, Layer by Layer lays the foundation for students both familiar and new to this field.
