Excerpt from Light From the East, or the Witness of the Monuments: An Introduction to the Study of Biblical Archaeology
Important Phoenician inscriptions which offer so many striking parallels to the religious ideas and practices of ancient Israel. I sincerely envy those readers to whom these illustrations of the Bible, derived from earlier and contemporary sources, will come invested with all the charm of the novel and the unexpected. They will find the sacred writings with which they are familiar acquiring fresh force, significance, and value, by comparison and contrast with the literary remains and monumental records of the great empires and peoples which so powerfully affected the fortunes of Israel. Their Old Testament will become to them a new Testament in the light of Oriental Archaeology.
