Summary: Great Magazine!!
Comment: This is a great magazine for anyone interested in history, archaeology and/or the holy land. It is lively and topical in terms of current archaeological news in the middle east, and is a great source of history not only concerning the holy land, but Roman and Greek cultures as well. Plenty of site and artifact photos, along with news. Also, it is usually sprinkled with a little archaeological controversy or disagreement among the experts (making it a lively read). I think it is written with just the right detail to make it interesting and appealing to the laymen, while at the same time attracting readership from professionals/academics (as evidenced by the letters to the editor).
Also -- I have bought a couple of gift subscriptions for friends with no real archaeological background -- both of them loved it!

Summary: Learning about our predecessors
Comment: This is a fascinating picture of life in ancient times, in the lands of the Bible. The inhabitants, our predecessors, accomplished much even though they had little to work with.

Summary: An Outstanding Publication
Comment: I have been a subscriber to BAR off and on (mostly on) for about 25 years. This is an outstanding publication! It is written by scholars (for the most part; at least most of the writers are extremely well-informed in biblical archaeology) for non-scholars (like myself). However, some of the articles can get very deep and many average Bible students may be intimidated by this. The only thing that I can think of that even comes close to being a complaint against the publication is that it seems to be biased toward a minimalist approach to the Bible (i.e., that very little of the Bible records actual historical events). It is hard to fault BAR for this, however, because most scholars in the field today are minimalist.

Summary: Biblical Archaelogical Review
Comment: Biblical Archaeology Review
This magazine is fantastic for Bible scholars & archeology buffs.
I recommend it for anyone who wants to know more of the history and culture of bible lands and people. I subscribed to it back in the 1980's & am glad to see its still around. I bought it as a gift.

Summary: I Look Forward to Each Issue
Comment: BAR is a great magazine. It discusses Biblical Archaeology from a scholarly perspective, but always gives a nod to the three monotheirstic faiths. The magazine has great articles, commentary, and isn't afraid to take on controversial positions. I look forward to each issue, and wish that it were a monthly. If you are looking for an informative, professional and approachable read - try BAR.
