Matt Hornby will give us a tour of the British Museum from
a biblical perspective.
We'll be looking at items from Israel, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Sumeria.
The aim is twofold:
- To see how archaeology confirms the historical accuracy of the Bible
- To get more of an idea of the culture in which the Old Testament was written
