1110 - Nehemiah's Wall with Edwin Yamauchi


Professor Edwin Yamauchi is professor emeritus at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He's also the president of the Near East Archaeological Society, a professional organization for evangelicals involved in Biblical Archaeology. I wanted to talk with him about some of the recently reported discoveries in Biblical Archaeology, including the re-identification for an ancient wall in Jerusalem, connecting it with Nehemiah, the wall-builder. We also discussed one of the top ten archaeological discoveries of the year, according to the judgement of Archaeology magazine.

928-930 The Archaeology of Music


Revisiting The Book & The Spade archives, just for the holiday season, we're pulling out a three part series we did 4-5 years ago with the San Antonio Vocal Arts Ensemble, SAVAE. Christopher Moroney talked with us about their new (at that time) project, attempting to reproduce the music of the Bible. It was one of the best series we've ever done, and most interesting, in my view.
