I have been asked to give my opinion on the best archaeological resources available for Logos Bible Software (Libronix), ranking them in order I would recommend for those with limited budgets. I was given this list:<\/p>\n
Bible Review: The Archive My recommendation for the five listed, in order, is: Biblical Archaeologist<\/a> ($109) – more technical and limited, but has many important articles in the 60 years covered.<\/p>\n Archaeology Odyssey: The Archive<\/a> ($50) – this is good if you are interested in the archaeology of places outside of Israel, including Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, and Rome. But there are only 5 years of issues, which makes the collection limited.<\/p>\n Not recommended: Bible Review: The Archive<\/a> ($80) – this magazine is usually so liberal that I don’t find it worth my time. As a reference, it can be more valuable, but it usually leaves archaeology to its BAR sister.<\/p>\n Others (from the list here<\/a>): Archaeological Encyclopedia of the Holy Land<\/a> ($30) – the entries are generally brief and dated (1996; this is not the latest printed edition<\/a>), but since neither the New Encyclopedia of Archaeological Excavations in the Holy Land (NEAEH<\/a>) nor the Oxford Encyclopedia of Archaeology in the Near East (OEANE<\/a>) is available electronically, this is next in line. I believe that Shimon Gibson has a new printed edition of AEHL in the works.<\/p>\n Final Note: I have been asked to give my opinion on the best archaeological resources available for Logos Bible Software (Libronix), ranking them in order I would recommend for those with limited budgets.

\nArchaeology Odyssey: The Archive CD-ROM
\nBiblical Archaeology Review Archive CD-ROM
\nThe Biblical World in Pictures CD-ROM
\nBiblical Archaeologist on CD-ROM
\nAnd other products at: www.logos.com\/products\/groups\/allitems\/biblical-studies-biblical-archaeology<\/a><\/p>\n
\nBiblical Archaeology Review Archive<\/a> ($120) – excellent source of general information about many subjects, and easily searched<\/p>\n
\nThe Biblical World in Pictures<\/a> ($150) – I don’t recommend this for a student, and hesitate to do so even for teachers because the picture resolution is low and the quality poor. On the other hand, for photos of artifacts, I don’t know of anything else. (For photos of biblical sites, see BiblePlaces.com<\/a>, of course :-)).<\/p>\n
\nThe Context of Scripture<\/a>, 3 volumes ($300) – not cheap, but worth every penny if you are studying the ancient world.<\/p>\n
\nI would buy Anchor Bible Dictionary<\/a> ($230) and probably also the IVP Reference Collection<\/a> ($120) and the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia<\/a> ($130) before any of those recommended above. If you can’t afford Anchor, get the Eerdman’s Dictionary of the Bible<\/a> instead ($45).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
