Biblical archaeology brings the physical world of ancient Israel and the broader ancient Near East into dialogue with biblical texts. EHJ 2026 features leading international archaeologists presenting recent excavations, discoveries, and methodologies that illuminate biblical history, including groundbreaking work at Shiloh, Jerusalem, and sites across ancient Judah and Israel. Our sessions examine how archaeological evidence informs our understanding of Israelite identity, religious practice, political structures, and daily life.
