Since 1975, BAR has provided readers with the latest happenings in the world of Biblical archaeology. The 200th issue features a retrospective of its adventures over the last three decades, and pays tribute to some of the greatest discoveries and people in the field.
Among the articles featured in the celebratory issue is a tribute to Jerusalem’s late David Harris, whose photographic genius documented some of the greatest archaeological discoveries of our time.
“How BAR Was Born” chronicles the evolution of BAR—from an idea inspired by Hershel Shanks’s year-long sabbatical in Israel to a magazine that reaches out to hundreds of thousands people with every new issue.
Also included is a run-down of ten top archaeological discoveries that have been published in the magazine over the years, as well as “the one that got away”--the long-awaited BAR publication of a silver amulet from Ketef Hinnom that bears the earliest inscription of a Biblical text.
“BAR’s Crusades” chronicles the pivotal--and sometimes controversial--role that the magazine and the Biblical Archaeology Society have played in some of the most dramatic debates, discoveries and issues in the last 35 years of Biblical archaeology. |
