As the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the Holy Land (the area in and around modern-day Israel) is one of the most important regions in the world and the setting for defining events in religious history.

Comb through this evidence for yourself with The Holy Land Revealed, which will add new dimensions to your understanding of this dynamic place. Delivered by archaeologist and award-winning Professor Jodi Magness of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, these 36 lectures give you an insider’s look at how archaeology helps us relive this period of civilization. And it’s a chance to get up close and personal with long-buried objects that will take you deep beneath the pages of the Bible.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

However if you are interested in ancient history, I would sooner recommend the great courses series on ancient Egypt, by Bob Brier. It is fantastic. If you are interested in the bible and ancient Judaism, check out Amy-Jill Levine’s great courses series on the Old Testament. If you want to know more about the Dead Sea scrolls, there is a course dedicated exclusively on that subject. If you want to understand early Christianity, Bart Ehrman has several great courses series.

I’m not saying this wasn’t well done, it just isn’t as compelling as the courses mentioned above. The most interesting part of the course was the final lecture where Jodi talks about the archaeological process. She’s obviously a brilliant archaeologist and very passionate. Really I don’t want to be too nit-picky, but she does sometimes present certain things as fact that historians may disagree with ie. Constantine making Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire (he did not), presenting the biblical narrative of David as historical (we really have no idea about almost any detail of the historical David) etc.

This would have been so much better if it was shorter, only focusing on the field of archaeology in ancient Palestine.

Overall pretty good…

It’s interesting but I agree with another reviewer here who nations that it could be a lot shorter and just focus on the archeology.

The lecturer falls into the trap of isolating religious texts in order to make her theory more palatable ie. speaker comes to the conclusion that Joseph of Aramathea must have hurried Jesus to his tomb due to the Passover. She uses Mathew and Mark as the sources, ignoring the fact that other sources in the New Testament state the date of crucifixion as a day later. That’s crucial.

In reality Christianity is a pick and choose your adventure but I’d recommend plethora other authors and lecturers over this one
