Dr. James Strange (Samford University) talks to us about archaeology and the gospels. We discuss:
- The Shikhin excavation project in Israel
- Oil lamp production in the first century
- How archaeologists relate archaeology and the texts of the gospels
- How an archaeologist may read Matthew 5:14-15, including:
- “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid” (v. 14)
- “People do not light a lamp and put it under the bushel basket” (v. 15)
- The function, structure, and significance of synagogues
