Customer Reviews

A fine periodical.

What more can you want out of an archeology magazine that is directed toward both lay readership and experts? It is well written in a clear and concise way. It covers archaeological topcis from around the world in a fair and even-handed way. It also discusses topics that are of keen importance to those who are interested in preserving the past, such as use of unprovenanced artifacts. There is even occasional discussion on what we must do to ensure that future archaeologists are not left in the lurch. I truly enjoyed reading about why, for this reason, we should not disturb early man-made satellites.

The articles are accompanied by great graphs, charts, photographs, time lines, sidebars and other tools that allow the reader to really get the most out of each piece.

I highly recommend this magazine to anyone who wants to keep up with advances in the archaeological world or who wants to learn about the topic in general. It is a great place to start and there are lots of other great magazines out there with which you can supplement this one.

Once you've started reading it, you'll really want to start exploring the web page, a tremendous resource for those interested in archeology and a great supplement to the publication.

MONTOYA'S REVIEW

I requested a free copy to verify the quality of images, I want to know first how confiability could be the articles written.

Cutting edge material for the student of the Bible

I've been a regular reader of Biblical Archaeology Review for over 15 years and am always delighted by its wonderful insights into the world of Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology. Excellent photos, thoughtful articles, and sometimes the fiery debates makes for insightful reading. This magazine is a "must" for any serious Bible student. Recent trips that I have taken to Israel and Jordan have been made all the more significant by the way in which I have already been transported there through the pages of this magazine.

This is not to say that any particular denominational or religious affiliation will be universally espoused. Quite to the contrary, one will find articles penned by scholars holding to a wide range of religious and biblical views, but that has a tendency to remove "straw man" arguments and to focus upon the cutting edge debates of the day. That means this magazine is not for the theologically faint-hearted. You will not always agree with the various writers, but you will always be informed by them.

subsrciption to be enjoyed

We haven't received our first issue yet as warned but in the past have enjoyed this magazine and the interesting finds throughout the middle east and how so much of the bible is rooted in actual places and archeological proven places!

Complete nonsense!

One can not help but wonder if Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR) will ever print a truthful article. From the issues I've read, every recovered potsherd, regardless of its attributes, is PROOF that some silly bible story is true!

BAR is NOT in any way a scientific publication, and if one reads an authentic professional paper on the same potsherd, one quickly realizes that BAR is entirely composed of articles where wild speculation and complete falsehoods are accepted and provided as fact! It is amazing that BAR manages to stay in business publishing such obvious nonsense! I guess the gullible and stupid of the world have a need to attach some scientific significance to their pitiful beliefs, even if in name only and regardless of dubious credibility.

BAR definitely fills that niche.

As a retired archaeologist, I must admit that BAR has provided many laughs and much shaking of heads for myself and my many colleagues through the years! But then, unlike the target audience of BAR, we know and recognize phony archaeological reporting when we see it!
