Thanks Convert from ECUSA....in this interview on UCTV's Dig This, February 2008. Dever gives an overview of Palestinian/Israeli archaeology: ... "What kind of scholarship is it that discredits the inconvenient evidence? This is the extent to which extremists will go to argue that there was no ancient Israel. And if you think perhaps there is an ideological agenda there, you're quite right ... There are some people who - let's put it gently - are not friends of Israel, ancient or modern, some people who believe that archaeology can be used to settle competing clams between Israelis and Palestinians today ... And there are always people who don't like the Bible, and enjoy Bible-bashing. I don't think that's honest scholarship." -- William Dever: 'The Bad Boy of Archaeology', May 14, 2008, The N. T. Wrong BlogDever is actually a minimalist himself, but likes the world to think he's a reasonable, MOR kind of guy. |
