In all honesty this lecture and pre-class material didn’t really captivate me. The topic that I found most interesting is the ancient archaeology and its relation to the Bible. This is especially interesting when you dive into groups that think the Bible is inerrant. What do they do when errancy is proven in the Bible using the scientific process. They then have to deny one of the two most influential creations for modern society, in my opinion. I also think the archaeology section is interesting for what it actually is. Applying the archaeological concepts to the bricks found and trying to figure out what time period of the Bible they would fit in is fascinating. My favorite part is how they searched for the bones of the livestock the ancient people killed and figured out they were Israelites because they were Kosher. I can only imagine how excited the research team was when they got the information to make that conclusion.
