Everyday Life in Biblical Times

While the Bible focuses on the kings, prophets and heroes of ancient Israel, most people led a very different existence. In “Everyday Life in Biblical Times,” Professor Dever uses archaeology to bridge the gap between social classes and shed light on what life was really like for the majority of Israelite people. From pottery styles to family homes to farming techniques, uncovering “life on the ground” is one of Professor Dever’s archaeological specialties. This was part of the How Archaeology Illuminates the Bible DVD.
