BIBL 471 - Biblical Archaeology

Liberty University Students

Doing an online courses can be difficult, especially when the local library does not have a good selection of resources on the Bible or archaeology. Perhaps you are on a ship deployed in the middle of the Pacific or a housewife living in a small town. Access to a good theological library is difficult and where can you go to find resources. Here is a list of sources that will help, which are academic and accessible from anywhere you have the internet. Now you have no excuse for producing quality research. Liberty Students: Be sure to set up an off campus access account and use the Ezproxy login to gain access to many online articles and books (not necessary now with the new https://mylu.liberty.edu login. Be sure to check out the Liberty Religion & Philosophy Research Guide.

A short 4 min. video on an Introduction to Biblical Archaeology created by Logos Media Ed introducing their course.  It hosts James Strange, Jodi Magness, and my good friend, Scott Stripling director at Khirbet el-Maqatir.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism

When you copy words from a source—whether it’s a dictionary, another book, someone’s blog, an online article, or even another student’s paper—you will need to properly document your research. Failure to cite a source is plagiarism. Submitting a paper WITHOUT footnotes is also plagiarism. Whether intentional or unintentional, it is still plagiarism. For a good definition of plagiarism, check out this brief article about plagiarism  which provides a good definition of plagiarism by S. E. Van Bramer, Widener University. And for more information look at; “Plagiarism: What It is and How to Recognize and Avoid It” and this Liberty Youtube Videos "Avoiding Plagiarism" and "What is Plagiarism".

Help with Citing your Sources:

1)  Content without “documentation” is a defective academic work. You MUST cite your work using marks, or indent and single space large quotes with properly footnotes formatted whenever you:

  •    Quote directly, paraphrase, or summarize.
  •    Use an idea in your work that you obtained from somewhere else
  •    Refer to a point your instructor made
  •    Find a source on the Internet that gives you useful information
  •    Is not common knowledge (not everyone knows this)   

NOTE: DO NOT COPY AND PASTE ANY INFORMATION FROM ANY WEBSITE WITHOUT PROPER “ ” MARKS AND PROPERLY FORMATTED FOOTNOTES (go at the bottom of the page) IN ALL PAPERS.         
       
Here is a good way to think about citation:  If you can trace the origin of your thoughts, phrases, and arguments to any source except your own mind, you need to cite it using a footnote at the bottom of the page. When in doubt, cite your source! 
 
2)  You do not need Citation when you:

  •      Develop an idea entirely on your own
  •      Do primary research and want to report the results of the study
  •      An idea emerges in class, but is different than what was presented
  •      Are talking about your paper with someone and you have an idea
  •      Refer to a fact that is common knowledge (most know it)

Easiest way to get the perfect citation: World Catalogue.

There are two styles of Chicago/Turabian (also called Society for Biblical Literature or SBL) formatting. Most schools require Chicago/Turabian Notes/Bibliography style. The Notes/Bibliography style is found in chapters 16 and 17 of the Turabian Manual, and is also called Chicago/Turabian: Humanities style by some databases (such as Ebsco) that provide suggested citations.  Whenever you use suggested citations from a database, be sure to check that they are properly capitalized, italicized, Times New Roman 12 point (NOT Arial), etc.

The other Chicago/Turabian Author/Date style, looks much like APA formatting (i.e., Smith 1980, 34).  Examples for this style are found in chapters 18 and 19 of the Turabian Manual.  This style uses parenthetical "in-text" citations style and has a reference list at the end of the paper.

Use these additional helpful guides to format your paper in Turabian. Choose the one that suits you best.

Turabian Tools

  • ETURABIAN: This is a great tool to help put your footnotes in the proper format. The Service is free but you will need to set up a username and password.
  • ZOTERO: A helpful footnote tool is the free Firefox plug-in called Zotero. It is used for automatically inserting footnotes into your papers and automatically creating your bibliography and keeping it up to date with any new footnotes you add. You can follow the instructional videos online to set it up. There are also YouTube videos that will help. There are also a necessary word processor plugins, available for Microsoft Word and LibreOffice, OpenOffice and NeoOffice. This will allow you to place footnotes into your papers automatically. Word processor plugins are available here. Gather bibliographic information off of sites like Amazon.com and insert the footnote into your paper with a few clicks of your mouse. If you use Zotero then select their Citation Style: "Chicago Manual of Style (full note)."
  • WORLD CATALOGUE: Search for your book or article. Choose the Cite/Export tab and choose the + for Turabian (6th ed.). Presto you have your bibliography citation. Note: Sometimes the city and publisher or other information is not listed, but you can get that from the Catalogue list for the book under the publisher. For some commentaries it lists the main series and not the individual volume. Always check the footnote for accuracy!

Turabian Tips

Turabian Tips
Easiest way to get the perfect citation: World Catalogue.
  1. The syntax for the footnote for a simple book is simple [AuthorFirstname + AuthorLastname, Title, (City: Publisher, Date), Page no.].

  2. Use research tools like Zotero.org or eturabian.com to enter footnotes automatically.

  3. Copy and paste the sources from my blog into your footnote for the correct Turabian format.

  4. Copy text from a website into Notepad to strip the hidden html code from the text, then from notepad copy and paste into your paper.

  5. Here is a free document template with a convenient styles menu for MSWord, that will consistently format your document/manuscript or paper.
  6. MS Word Shortcut: To enter a footnote in your paper using MS Word use: Ctrl + Alt + F. Now enter your footnote. (YouTube Video

  7. TWO TYPES OF TURABIAN: Don't confuse the Turabian "parenthetical "in-text" citations style" which looks like this (Smith 1980, 34), with Turabian Notes/Bibliography style (Footnote at the bottom of the page)

  8. Don't use MS Word "References/ Insert Citations." Microsoft Format Feature in MS Word for Chicago and Turabian DOES NOT enter the footnotes correctly in your document, so do not use it for your footnotes and bibliography. When you select Turabian in the Microsoft Word feature it formats the Footnote in APA (also called parenthetical in-text citations Turabian style) which is not what we use in this class. Word will make your footnotes look like this (Graves 2003, 345). 

  9. Wikipedia. Don't quote it!!! The material is notorious for being unreliable and inaccurate. NEVER place Wikipedia in your bibliography.
  10. Use Wikipedia to check out the footnotes and bibliography at the bottom of the articles where they will often have links to PDF files for download able books.

  11. Use Google Books or Amazon to read parts of books.

Typing

As you type, remember that a word processor (such as Microsoft Word) is not a typewriter. Even writers who have used word processors for years still make elementary typewriting mistakes. Thus, the authorial commandments:
1.    Thou shalt not use tabs to indent paragraphs. This outmoded (and time-consuming) practice should be abandoned in favor of paragraph styles (such as Body Text) that automatically indent text.
2.    Thou shalt not type double spaces between sentences. Since typewriters used monospaced fonts (with every character the same width), spaces between sentences helped improve readability. Word processors, however, use proportional fonts, so character widths are different. That means there’s no longer a need for double spaces between sentences.
3.    Thou shalt not use carriage returns (by pressing the ENTER key) to end a line within a paragraph. In a word processor, this is simply not necessary, and in fact will cause enormous problems for your publisher. The only time you need to press the Enter key is at the end of a paragraph. Let your word processor take care of individual line breaks.
4.    Thou shalt not type double returns between paragraphs. If you need extra space between text levels, let the styles handle it.
5.    Thou shalt not use manual page breaks. Again, these should be handled by styles and section breaks, inserted automatically when you start a new part or chapter.
6.    Thou shalt not use underlining to indicate emphasis, book titles, and the like. On a typewriter, underlining text was the only option—a substitute for italic. With a word processor, genuine italic is available. Why not use it?
7.    Thou shalt not use the letter ell (l) for the number 1. If you remember using a typewriter, you may recall that the number keys started with 2, not 1, and that the ell key doubled as the number 1. In a word processor, ells and ones are different characters. If you use ells for ones, some of your numbers will look really strange when they’re typeset, like this: l98l. See?
8.    Thou shalt not manually hyphenate words at ends of lines. Please don’t worry about word or line breaks. Your publisher’s typesetting program will change them all anyway.

These 8 Typing commandments are used with permission from Copyright © 2005 by the Editorium. All rights reserved. You may freely share these instructions and the template itself (both unchanged) with anyone you’d like. Suggestions for improvement are welcome. Please send them to: editor@editorium.com.

There are two styles of Chicago/Turabian (also called Society for Biblical Literature or SBL) formatting. For Biblical Studies cources Liberty prefers the Notes/Bibliography style, which has you place a footnote at the bottom of each page where a resource is quoted or paraphrased (NOT end-notes), and then have an alphabetically organized bibliography at the end of your paper.  The Notes/Bibliography style is found in chapters 16 and 17 of the Turabian Manual, and is also called Chicago/Turabian: Humanities style by some databases (such as Ebsco) that provide suggested citations.  Whenever you use suggested citations from a database, be sure to check that they are properly capitalized, italicized, Times New Roman 12 point (NOT Arial), etc.

The other Chicago/Turabian Author/Date style is much more like APA formatting and looks like this (Smith 1980, 34).  Do not use this style for Liberty papers in this class.  Examples for this style are found in chapters 18 and 19 of the Turabian Manual.  This style uses parenthetical "in-text" citations style and has a reference list at the end of the paper.

Bible Commentaries

Bible Commentaries


Many older commentaries such as John Gill, John Calvin, Matthew Henry, Scofield's Notes, Adam Clarke, etc. and available online and are great for devotions and sermon preparation, but are not suitable for academic research. For some of the best commentaries see the Best Commentaries website. Here are a few Commentaries that are academically acceptable and available online. Also, see Study Light commentaries for a list of available commentaries online. Note that not all are of academic quality.

  • Alford, Henry. The Greek Testament: With a Critically Revised Text; a Digest of Various Readings; Marginal References to Verbal and Idiomatic Usage; Prolegomena; and a Critical and Exegetical Commentary. 8 vols. London, U.K.: Deighton, Bell, & Co., 1863. An Anglican English churchman, theologian, and scholar. Originally done in four parts from 1849-1861, revised from 1863-1878. PDF

Barclay (1907-1978) was a Scottish author, radio and television presenter, Church of Scotland minister, and Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism at the University of Glasgow. Skeptical about the Trinity, believed in universal salvation, and a pacifism but maintained great insights into the text.
  • Bengel, Johann Albrecht. Gnomon of the New Testament. Translated by Andrew Robert Faussett. 3rd ed. Vol. 2. Smith, English & Company, 1860. This was written in 1742 by Johann Albrecht Bengel and is the result of twenty years' labor. Bengel's Gnomon awakened a fresh interest in the study of the New Testament. This work is still one of the books most valued by expositors of the New Testament.
  • Jamieson, Robert, Andrew Robert Faussett, and David Brown. A Commentary, Critical and Explanatory, on the Old and New Testaments. Oak Harbor, Wash.: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1997. Considered to be conservative and orthodox teachers of the Christian faith which was first published in 1871. Jamieson (1802-1880) and Brown (1803-1897). Dated but still considered helpful.
  • Keil, C. F., and Franz Delitzsch. Commentary on the Old Testament. 10 vols. Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 2006. Conservative German Lutheran Old Testament scholarship from the nineteenth century which is still helpful.
  • Lightfoot, John. A Commentary on the New Testament From the Talmud and Hebraica. Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson, 1859. In a verse by verse format, Lightfoot relates medieval rabbinic traditions, the writings of Josephus, and other Jewish materials to the New Testament.
  • Meyer, Heinrich August Wilhelm. Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament. Edited by William P. Dickinson. Translated by John C. Moore and Edwin Johnson. Edinburgh, U.K.: T&T Clark, 1874. Heinrich August Wilhelm Meyer, a German Protestant with a gift for languages, published the first commentary in this collection in 1832 at the age of thirty-two. Each volume focuses on the Greek text, and Meyer uses and discusses an abundance of sources and authors to illustrate meaning derived from the text. Meyer also likes to include important bibliographic material which was integral to his studies and research.
  • Nicoll, W. Robertson, ed. The Expositor’s Greek Testament. 5 vols. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 1956. List of Commentaries. This work ranks among the most important commentaries on the Greek text of the NT from the 19th century. Drawing from the scholarship of twenty contributors under the editorship of William Robertson Nicoll, this massive reference work contains textual, literary, and grammatical commentary on nearly every Greek word in the entire New Testament.
  • Osborne, Grant R. Series Editor.  InterVarsity Press New Testament Commentary Series (IVPNTC). 20 Volumes. Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity, 1999. The list of 20 contemporary authors.
  • Robertson, A. T. Word Pictures in the New Testament. 6 vols. Nashville, Tenn.: B&H, 1998.
