Stones Still Speak

<p><b>Untangling the Sunday School Stories You Learned from the Biblical History You Haven't <br/></b><br/><b>· Biblical archaeologist unearths the riches of the historical and cultural contexts of the Bible<br/>· Unveils God's Word as one glorious world-changing story<br/></b><br/>When we first encounter the Bible we are taught its <i>stories</i>--Adam and Eve Moses and the Red Sea David and Goliath Jonah and the whale and more. When a story lacks the details we crave we fill in the blanks--with what we've seen in movies read in books and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.<br/><br/>In <i>Stones Still Speak</i> Harvard-trained archaeologist and theologian Amanda Hope Haley scrapes back 2000 years of misguided cultural interpretations to reveal God's Word in its historical archaeological and literary contexts. Far from a dry academic exercise this process explains how our misunderstandings developed and revitalizes the Scripture you thought you knew with the greater purpose of encouraging a more intentional rigorous study of the Bible in your daily life.</p>
