Dear fellow ASOR member,
I am pleased to recommend to you the recent publication of what many are calling “The Ceramics Bible.” The official title is The Ancient Pottery of Israel and Its Neighbors from the Iron Age through the Hellenistic Period. I am even more pleased to share that, because ASOR is a sponsor of these volumes, they are available to ASOR members at a discounted rate of $180, which is $60 off the regular price.
These are amazing volumes. Simply put, they are an essential resource for archaeologists and students of ancient Near Eastern studies. They provide biblical scholars with archaeological/historical discussions of the periods of the United Monarchy, and of the subsequent split into Israel and Judah, as well as of the periods of the Philistines, Assyrians, Phoenicians, and Hasmoneans. The quality is superb, and many of the drawings were redone in order to ensure an unparalleled level of standardization and consistency. In my opinion, these are truly “must-have” volumes for all students of the cultures and history of the lands of the Bible.
As one of the volumes’ supporting institutions, ASOR is offering our members a special discounted price of $180, plus shipping. Click here for an order form, which should be mailed directly to the publisher, the Israel Exploration Society in Israel.
If this special offer were not enough, I am also glad to report that all sales of Volumes I and II will directly support the production and printing costs of Volumes III and IV. Your purchase (though not tax-deductible) will directly contribute to the publication of the culminating volumes for this essential resource for the field.
Faithfully,
Andrew G. Vaughn
ASOR Executive Director
