I highly recommend Biblical Archaeology Review. My only regret is that I did not subscribe sooner. This is a must have magazine for the serious Biblical scholar.

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.
 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!
Just read the first issue! March 7, 2004

All I can think of is how great this journal is. BAR pulls no punches, and the articles are very well written. Biblical discoveries are analyzed from different angles, with contributions coming from a diverse base of experts. Certainly worth every penny!
