 Cutting edge material for the student of the Bible May 14, 2008
John Stevenson (Florida)
I've been a regular reader of Biblical Archaeology Review for over 15 years and am always delighted by its wonderful insights into the world of Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology. Excellent photos, thoughtful articles, and sometimes the fiery debates makes for insightful reading. This magazine is a "must" for any serious Bible student. Recent trips that I have taken to Israel and Jordan have been made all the more significant by the way in which I have already been transported there through the pages of this magazine.
This is not to say that any particular denominational or religious affiliation will be universally espoused. Quite to the contrary, one will find articles penned by scholars holding to a wide range of religious and biblical views, but that has a tendency to remove "straw man" arguments and to focus upon the cutting edge debates of the day. That means this magazine is not for the theologically faint-hearted. You will not always agree with the various writers, but you will always be informed by them.

We haven't received our first issue yet as warned but in the past have enjoyed this magazine and the interesting finds throughout the middle east and how so much of the bible is rooted in actual places and archeological proven places!

Got the first issue - it is more a catalog to sell books, dvds, and tours. Not much of a magazine, and has a slanted viewpoint.
Complete nonsense! August 3, 2007

One can not help but wonder if Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR) will ever print a truthful article. From the issues I've read, every recovered potsherd, regardless of its attributes, is PROOF that some silly bible story is true!
BAR is NOT in any way a scientific publication, and if one reads an authentic professional paper on the same potsherd, one quickly realizes that BAR is entirely composed of articles where wild speculation and complete falsehoods are accepted and provided as fact! It is amazing that BAR manages to stay in business publishing such obvious nonsense! I guess the gullible and stupid of the world have a need to attach some scientific significance to their pitiful beliefs, even if in name only and regardless of dubious credibility.
BAR definitely fills that niche.
As a retired archaeologist, I must admit that BAR has provided many laughs and much shaking of heads for myself and my many colleagues through the years! But then, unlike the target audience of BAR, we know and recognize phony archaeological reporting when we see it!
Good archaeological resource February 22, 2007

Even though BAR lost some credibility with the James ossuary scandal, I think we all learned a good lesson about wanting to believe things are genuine when they aren't.
BAR is still the best armchair archaeology periodical of the Bible lands.
