Book Reviews
This book is a poignant reminder of the utter brilliance of Joe Callaway. He uncovers facts and discoveries of ancient Israel and its people as only an archaeologist and theologian could. We begin to see how archaeology and theology come together— how the knowledge of the land, the people, and their society can affect the interpretation of the stories of the Old Testament. It opens our minds to new possibilities and helps us explore new and different meanings from some old scriptures. Faces of the Old Testament should be on the reading list of every Sunday School teacher."
