widespreadattention is paid to its discoveries.The mass of evidence from countriesnamed in the Bible is growing so rapidly,however,that it is often difficultfor the student and teacher of biblical history,literature and theology tokeep abreast of the new knowledge.At the same time development inthe methods used in the archaeological sciences makes it necessary toreconsider some earlier conclusions.Thus,as in any progressive science,there is always place for a new presentation of archaeological results forthe general reader.  \n'Biblical archaeology'has now become a specialist branch of archaco-logical research requiring competence in both archaeological and biblicalstudies.It selects from the material remains of ancient Palestine and itsneighbouring countries any evidence which may bear upon the biblicalnarrative.More than twenty-five thousand sites,only a few score ofwhich have been excavated,and almost a million written
