The Bible and Archaeology: Current State of Research and Debate 
Thursday, February 9, 5-7 PM, Perlman Honors Commons

In this two-hour seminar, the participants will be introduced to the 
most current state of biblical research, with a special attention 
focused on the intersection of biblical texts and archaeology. 
Organized as an informal discussion of the book by a leading Israeli 
archaeologist I. Finkelstein "The Bible Unearthed," the copies of which 
will be provided to the seminar participants, the seminar will address 
the three most vocal schools of thought contributing to the debate.

Vadim Jigoulov, a PhD Candidate at the Department of Near Eastern 
Studies, will be facilitating the seminar, the second part of which 
will be dedicated to an alternative interpretative model he will be 
proposing in his dissertation on Persian-period Phoenicia. Seating is 
limited, so if you want to attend, please contact Honors Associate 
Director Liina Wallin at lmwallin AT umich.edu in order to reserve your 
place.
