• Where can I download the.. "To download a Notes document that highlights the readings for this course...go to this site?? Craig A. Evans, AR151 Archaeology in Action: Jesus and Archaeology, Logos Mobile Education (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2017).

  • I got question 4 on the final wrong - Herod the great began an extensive building program, which included the Jerusalem temple and the fortress-retreat Masada. True or False? Can someone help me why my answer of true was marked as incorrect? Maybe I am mixing up something?

    2. Thank you!!

    3. woohoo!! one of the reasons I have stayed with (Faithlife) Logos all these years.

    4. I'm just starting the course. Didn't know it was a course per se. Just liked that it was about archeology. We'll see. :)

  • In segment 14, there is mention of the shroud of Turin, by Israel Hershkovitz. in it's mention he seems to be emphatic (with a grin) that it was found to be forgery because of the "carbon dating" that was done. I am not saying that it is or is not some kind of forgery (though, if it is, shouldn't there be some evidence(s) that show possibly how it was made/forged? Pollen evidences may or may not be conclusive as well. And I have always wondered about how you could accurately carbon date (c14 radiometric dating) a material item that had been handled throughout the ages, and not to mention the fact that it was in a fire. In my understanding of the process, both of those things would have directly contaminated the cloth. I understand the issue of unprovenanced items and artifacts, and especially that forgeries make archaeology a challenge. However, I disagree that making a blanket statement without other corroborating information or sources to draw from, is supposed to be accepted (a priori). Did I miss something?

    1. I'm a little disappointed with the videos. They are somewhat brief; don't show us much of the "archaeological" items; more they are the good professor lecturing. I've only watched two segments thus far, and spending time with the activities items. But, my impression of this course was a more in depth visual journey into the Holt Land and Jesus' activities therein.

      1. There is a lot of lecturing, but there are lots of images and video clips in the lecture series as well. Personally, I get most of the "picture" from the reading that is requested after the video clips.
