	The Development Of Archeology : Biblical Archeology
		The artifacts and inscriptions thus discovered were studied in some detail.
		Archeology was not yet an established science, so the study was quite preliminary, but the systematic way in which it was done opened one door to the birth of objective archeology.
		However, during the ninteenth century, the growth and development of standard methodologies for the empirical sciences was enough for many museum curators to realize that the haphazard way in which these artifacts were collected and piled in museums was only destroying much of the evidence related to antiquity.

	Theology Today - Vol 42, No. 3 - October 1985 - CRITIC'S CORNER - Church and Biblical Scholarship in Dialogue
		THE often antagonistic relationship between biblical scholarship or the academy, on the one hand, and the believing community or church, on the other, is actually a particular case of the more general and ongoing conflict between science and faith which dates back to the Enlightenment.
		The tension between biblical scholarship and the believing church is based on a mutual misunderstanding that is surprisingly tenacious.
		It is the distancing work of the biblical scholar which keeps the non-scientific reader from "gobbling up" the text, uncritically assimilating it into his or her own worldview and thus domesticating it rather than being confronted by it.

	PBS: Think Tank: Transcript for "What Do We Know About the Bible?"
		Recently an Israeli antiquities collector revealed the existence of a stone artifact inscribed with the words 'James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.' The discovery set off a storm of controversy among archeologists, historians, and biblical scholars.
		Biblical Archeology Review, and the author of the story is one of the world’s leading experts in scripts, a man by the name of Andre Lamaire from the Sorbonne.
		And also the texts, the Biblical texts, were standardized later so that there is quite a tolerance of different editions of the various books that we know of as in the Bible today.

	Biblical Archaeology
		However, to the true believer in divine inspiration, each 'find' made in the field of biblical archaeology, is a link in the long chain of historical events that unite God's people of all ages.
		Archaeology is the 3D spectacles through which we see the two dimensional picture of biblical history transformed into the sometimes breathtaking three dimensional picture in which people and places, events and customs, can be touched, felt, and experienced.
		These simple exercises demonstrate that to actually see the artifact, to touch and feel it, to thus vicariously experience the reality of the parable, the miracle, or the event, can mean more than a thousand tellings of it.

		A common feature of these artifacts is their reference to Jerusalem through attributions to major biblical landmarks or personalities such as the Jerusalem Temple, Judahite kings and other biblical officials, or Jesus Christ.
		Methodologically, it seems that this peculiar treatment of these artifacts by members of the scientific community may be interpreted as a milder symptom of the Jerusalem Syndrome.
		The patina and the deposits on the artifact's surface and the inscription seem to have developed naturally during burial, as modern materials were detected.

	James
		This could well be the earliest artifact ever found relating to the existence of Jesus, a French scholar has concluded in an analysis of the inscription being published this week in the magazine Biblical Archaeology Review.
		Before this, Biblical Archaeology Review reported, the earliest mention of Jesus was in a piece of papyrus containing a fragment of the Gospel by John, written in Greek in about A.D. Most of the existing early texts for the New Testament date from 300 or more years after the time of Jesus.
		Like other biblical scholars, Dr. James C. VanderKam of the University of Notre Dame praised Dr. Lemaire as an authoritative epigrapher, or specialist in ancient inscriptions, whose research is thorough and evaluations judicious.

	Greek mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These accounts were initially fashioned and disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; our surviving sources of Greek mythology are literary reworkings of this oral tradition.
		Greek mythology was also reflected in artifacts, some of them works of art, notably the repertoiry of vase-painters.
		The Greeks themselves referred to the myths and associated artworks to throw light on cult practices and ritual traditions that were already ancient and, at times, poorly understood.

	Burial Box May Be Jesus Artifact - CBS News
		Some biblical scholars describe James as Jesus' half brothers, others say he was a cousin, reports CBS News Correspondent Randall Pinkston, but there is widespread agreement that he led the early church in Jerusalem and was executed in A.D. The age of the box would place it in the same time period as that James.
		Biblical Archaeology Review editor Hershel Shanks said the owner bought the box about 15 years ago from an Arab antiquities dealer in Jerusalem who said it was unearthed south of the Mount of Olives.
		Until now, the oldest surviving artifact that mentions Jesus is a fragment of chapter 18 in John's Gospel from a manuscript dated around A.D. It was discovered in Egypt in 1920.

		When it was first disclosed two years ago, it caused a stir in the archaeological world, with some experts dating the stone to the 9th century B.C. and calling it a rare confirmation of biblical narrative.
		The existence of the James ossuary was revealed last November at a news conference in Washington by the Biblical Archaeology Review.
		Robert Eisenman, who wrote a book on Jesus' brother, studied the box and said the writing on the box, written in two different hands, along with the artifact's sudden appearance, made its authenticity questionable.

		But doubts persisted, then increased in January of this year when another remarkable artifact with biblical associations--and murky origins and ownership--surfaced in Israel: the Jehoash Inscription, seemingly a 2,800-year-old account of repairs made to the Temple in Jerusalem.
		Their mandate was straightforward: make a thorough, independent study of both artifacts; check the previous scientific conclusions; and finally, come to a reasoned evaluation of their authenticity.
		His study concentrated on a telltale clue to the nature of authentic ancient patina: its isotopic ratio of oxygen provides a distinctive indication of the qualities of the water with which the patina was produced.

		There was a time when biblical archeology was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon or a life, when the Biblical Archaeology Review was a part of that pleasant dalliance.
		Biblical Archeology Review (BAR) is dedicated to 'proving' that the Bible's text is the best source of information on the ancient Biblical world rather than empirical archeological evidence.
		Also, ever present within BAR is a fear and deprication of independant empirical archeology which interprets archeological evidence without predetermined beliefs as having a primacy over the Bible's text (a text that each generation was free to constantly redact to fit its own political exigencies of the day).
