What is Biblical Archaeology?

What is Biblical Archaeology?

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; and He overthrew those cities… Genesis 19:24-25 Hey guys, let me introduce myself, my name is Angela the Archaeologist! I’m a Biblical Archaeologist from the great state of Texas. A lot of people think archaeologists dig up dinosaur bones. That’s cool, but that’s more paleontology, not archaeology.
