Since they lack a surviving narrative history of their own, in approaching the Nabataeans one necessarily relies heavily upon the commentaries of outside observers, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Jews, as well as upon comparisons of Nabataean material culture with Classical and Near Eastern models. These approaches have elucidated much about this

  • Thru the Bible: the Raising of Lazarus [John 11]
    Thru the Bible: The Raising of Lazarus [John 11] Introduction (John 11:1-57): The story of the raising of Lazarus is the final and climactic “sign” in the first half of the Gospel (“Book of Signs”) and contains the fifth “I am” statement, “I am the resurrection and the life” (11:25). After this story, Jesus’ public ministry is completed, with no further public discourses. From now on, John the gospel writer will focus on the culminating events and private teaching of Jesus’ final week, leading up to his third and final Passover Festival in Jerusalem. While the Synoptic Gospels include the raising of Jairus’ daughter (Mt. and Mk.) and the widow of Nain’s son (Lk.), only John records this astonishing story of Jesus raising someone already entombed for four days. Jesus and the Bethany Family (11:1-6): The sisters Mary and Martha appear to be known to the readers, perhaps from the story in Luke 10:38-42 of Jesus teaching in their home, but their brother Lazarus is only mentioned in John’s Gospel. This family appears to be very special to Jesus, and their home in Bethany (near Jerusalem) may have been a regular place of hospitality for Jesus and his disciples when in the region. Leading up to our chapter, in 10:40-42, John tells us that when Jesus heard the news of Lazarus’ illness, he was teaching across the Jordan River, in the place where John the Baptist had been preaching, which is identified as a different Bethany in John 1:28.

  • 210505 Wednesday Night Bible Study 8 Joshua Copy 31
    Wednesday Night Bible Study….(Announcements): www.ebcnc.com (calendar & information) Joshua Continues the Fighting Joshua 11:10 Joshua turned back at that time and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms. :11 And they struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was none left breathing. Then he burned Hazor with fire. :12 So all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. :13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only, which Joshua burned. :14 And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the children of Israel took as booty for themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none breathing. Having pursued the enemy all the way to the sea, Joshua now returned to destroy the capital of the confederacy. So complete was the destruction of Hazor that nothing that breathed was left. Joshua burned the city, something he did not do to the cities that stood still in their strength. This implies cities that were “heaped up,” or built high mounds for defense and strength, like the castles along the Rhine. Joshua 11:15 As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did.

  • The Heritage of Palestine
    Present Pasts, Vol. 2, No. 1, 2010, 96-100, doi:10.5334/pp.26 سلب ونهب و “انقاذ” تراث فلسطين. ’Looting and ‘Salvaging the Heritage of Palestine د. عادل يحيى ADEL H. YAHYA مدير المؤسسة الفلسطينية للتبادل الثقافي Director, the Palestinian Association for Cultural Exchange (PACE) تصف هذه المقالة كيفية تساهم الحفريات غير القانونية وتجارة اﻷثار في This paper describes the how illegal digging تخريب التراث الفلسطيني. -and the antiquities trade are ravaging Pal estinian cultural heritage. Palestine’s archaeological heritage is, as elsewhere, a non-renewable cultural resource. Al- though the land is probably the most intensively excavated in the world, much remains to be done in the protection and management of its heritage, which has been harmed by decades of political instability and conflict. Since 1967, the occupied Palestinian territories have remained comparatively ignored by archaeologists, while neighbouring countries like Jordan, Egypt, and Israel have continued to be extensively excavated. Threats and chal- lenges to Palestinian cultural heritage are diverse, serious and hard to solve. Some of them, such as illegal digging, inefficient Palestinian antiquity laws and law enforcement, and the lack of sustained national interest in this issue are internal. Others, including the antiquities trade, Israeli antiquity laws, and the series of walls, fences and guard towers that Israel is constructing throughput the West Bank, are external threats. These threats combined have devastated the country’s heritage, with nothing yet done to confront them. A pre-requisite to confronting these challenges, and thereby devising a comprehensive plan to protect Pales- tine’s cultural heritage, lies in a detailed analysis of the situation.

The period under examination is the late medieval period, from the 11th to the 14th centuries, encompassing the time when the region was under the control of various Islamic dynasties and the Crusaders. The archaeology of Le banon has been somewhat neglected over the years, despite its importance for our understanding of the region in the medieval period, mainly because of the civil war (1975-1990), which made excavations and surveys in the country impossible and led to the widespread looting of sites (Hakiman 1987; Seeden 1987; Seeden 1989; Fisk 1991 ; Hakiman 1991; Ward 1995; Hackmann 1998; Sader 2001.
