Archeology of Jerusalem, Part I

This 37-minute video recording was produced in 1990 by the Biblical Archeology Society. It covers the archaeological finds in Jerusalem from that city's Canaanite beginnings to its destruction by the Babylonians. SNU library call number: Media DS 109.A7

One purpose for showing this video is to emphasize that the events recorded in Scripture really happened. Jerusalem is a real place; real people lived there. The call for faith is not in terms of whether the events happened; the call for faith is in the interpretation put on those events (as to whether God was at work, revealing Himself).
