Sacred Time, Sacred Place

Sacred Time, Sacred Place Volume 1 examines the complex relationship between archaeology, ancient texts, and the development of Israelite religion. This scholarly work compiles thirteen essays from an ASOR symposium, featuring contributions from prominent researchers including J. Z. Smith, W. G. Dever, and Z. Zevit. The text analyzes how physical evidence and written records shape the modern understanding of early faith systems.

This academic study fits within the categories of Bible antiquities and Middle East religion. By exploring Judaism history to 70 A.D. and Middle East antiquities, the authors provide a rigorous analysis of the intersection between material culture and theology. Sacred Time, Sacred Place Volume 1 serves as a critical resource for those studying the historical and archaeological foundations of ancient Near Eastern spiritual practices.
