Summary: Faith in God who works in history
Comment: What has Archaeology to do with Faith, edited by Charlesworth and Weaver, is a collection of four excellent papers on what is typically called 'biblical' archaeology and its relationship to ones faithful devotion to the Bible. The papers examine the implications of archaeology, and its scientific reconstruction of ancient social history, on Biblical studies. These implications can often be archaeological contradictions of biblical accounts, and even when archaeology can verify biblical events, there is no way to verify the work of God. These papers examine such issues. Faith is more than archaeological understanding, yet this historical knowledge can ultimately inform our faith. These four papers address the often-ignored (by non-archaeologist) reality of 'biblical' archaeology.

Summary: Archaeology and faith?
Comment: What has archaeology to do with faith? Obviously nothing. Archaeology is a social science that utilizes the scientific method. Archaeologists analyze artifacts and their distribution to help understand the lifeways of those who came before us. Whereas faith is accepting something as truth which has no evidence indicating it as such.
