ARCHAEOLOGY COURSES
DIGGING DEEPER
DIGGING DEEPER
The author, David Down continues on from Digging up the Past with his same interesting style in Digging Deeper, but in greater depth. Not only does he relate Middle Eastern archaeological finds to the Bible as in Digging up the Past, but he also explores significant Bible themes associated with archaeological and historical events and people.
WHAT TO EXPECT
In Digging Deeper David shows the significance of these Biblical insights, and how they impact on our society today and on the future. It is the second of three courses in the Digging Series: the final course will become available later in the year.
WHERE TO START
In the first lesson, “The Ancient Greeks and the Life to Come”, learn about the the influence the ancient Greeks had and continue to have.
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS COURSE
The Digging up the Past course explores the historical and cultural background of the Bible with a particular emphasis on historical and archaeological discoveries. Learn about pyramids, the Biblical flood and Petra.
