- Discuss the Bible as God’s self-revelation.
- Define and explain the roles of “covenant” and “authority” as they relate to Scripture.
- Discuss key geographical terms and locations used in the biblical text.
- Explain the role of archaeology in biblical studies and name nine archaeological periods.
- Develop greater skill and accuracy in your study of the Old Testament.
Personal Reflection
As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
What stance should a believer take when archaeological data appear to be in conflict with the biblical record? What cautions should one exercise in developing parallels between the Old Testament and the ancient Near East?
