Prophets, Idols and Diggers: Scientific Proof of Bible History

By John Elder

Prophets, Idols and Diggers, 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.

Dr. Elder offers a rewarding reading experience to everyone interested in archeology, religion or the fabulous past. In reviewing the findings of archeology as they illuminate the Scriptures, Dr. Elder shows how science has enriched our understanding of passages once thought confusing, contradictory or obscure. Although much study remains to be done and doubtless many additional discoveries are to be made, the past is yielding up its secrets.
