Скачать или смотреть Petrie's Peculiarities

Biblical archaeology has always had an eccentric history. In this video Ellen White, the Biblical Archaeology Society’s Senior Editor, describes one of the most eccentric founders of Biblical archaeology, Sir William Flinders Petrie. White explores Petrie’s oddities and touches on his achievements and contributions to the field of Biblical archaeology.

This short clip is drawn from White’s longer lecture, “Is Biblical Archaeology Really the Spade in One Hand and the Bible in the Other?” in which she discusses Biblical archaeology, how it came to be and where it is going. She explores the controversies around the name “Biblical archaeology” and whether it is still an issue for most in the field.

For a more detailed look at the field of Biblical archaeology, the controversies it has encountered, the methodological concerns archaeologists struggle with, and a look at what is to come from four of the leading scholars in the field, check out the DVD Scholars Speak: The Elusive Biblical Archaeology.
