Amanda Hope Haley makes biblical archaeology accessible and faith-affirming, showing how archaeological discoveries deepen our understanding of Scripture rather than disproving it.

• Harvard-educated biblical archaeologist specializing in Iron Age history
• Biblical archaeology contextualizes Scripture by helping modern readers understand ancient cultural settings
• Archaeological discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls provide crucial third perspectives on biblical text discrepancies
• David wasn't a weak child but a skilled warrior proficient with tactical sling weapons
• Goliath was likely about six-and-a-half feet tall according to the oldest reliable texts
• Understanding your Bible's translation sources provides important interpretive context
• Archaeological evidence consistently confirms biblical descriptions of places, cultures and artifacts
• Faith requires trusting God with what we cannot see or comprehend

Amanda's book "Stones Still Speak" releases September 23rd. You can find her podcast "The Red-Haired Archaeologist" wherever you listen to podcasts, and connect with her on social media at Amanda Hope Haley.
