1167-1170 Walter Kaiser - Archaeology and the Bible

Walter Kaiser has taught the Old Testament to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of America's pastors. He taught at Wheaton College, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He has written or contributed to over 50 books. Although now retired he still holds the position of President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Old Testament and Ethics at Gordon-Conwell.

We were privileged to have Dr. Kaiser come and lecture on The Top Archaeological Finds of the Biblical Periods. This lecture is a great introduction to Biblical Archaeology, as is Dr. Kaiser's book, The Old Testament Documents, Are They Reliable and Relevant? published by InterVarsity Press. The lecture as a whole can be downloaded from our website, http://www.radioscribe.com/bknspade.htm.

1165 - 1166 Randy Smith - Tel BeerSheva

From Dan to BeerSheva, the Bible says, about the length and breadth of ancient Israel. We've gone to Tel Dan numerous times. The last time we were in Israel was the first time we included Tel BeerSheva on the itinerary. And there was a surprise waiting there for us, a newly excavated water system. Our commentary is from professor Randy Smith of the Christian Travel Study Program. Our tour intersected with professor Smith's tour several times (not surprising since we used his travel agent) and we profited from his expertise greatly.

On the second segment professor Smith discusses two more unusual features of Tel BeerSheva, a reconstructed horned altar that was discovered on the site, and the ancient well at the city gate, the deepest well in ancient Israel.
