From the Bible to the Levant and Beyond.

The article discusses the founding of "The Biblical Archaeologist" magazine by G. Ernest Wright in 1938 inspired from the Biblical archaeology movement of his mentor William Foxwell Albright. Topics include the blend of theology and archaeology to characterize American-style biblical archeology created by Wright and the reincarnation of the magazine as "Near Eastern Archaeology" in 1998 to reflect changes in biblical studies, archaeology, anthropology, history and political science.
