In today's episode, Claire is joined by archaeologists Jodi Magness and Deirdre Fulton to discuss Jodi's book The Archaeology of the Holy Land: From the Destruction of Solomon's Temple to the Muslim Conquest. This book is an excellent introduction to the archaeology of ancient Palestine with a structure that allows the reader to learn about the history alongside the archaeology. The introduction begins just before the destruction of Solomon's Temple in 586 BCE and moves through time covering the Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine Periods. Major sites include Masada, Caesarea Maritima, and Petra as she discusses monumental archaeology, pottery, and more. Jodi Magness is a Classical and Biblical archaeologist specializing in ancient Palestine (modern Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories) from the time of Jesus up to the tenth century. Her research interests include Jerusalem, Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient synagogues, Masada, the Roman army in the East, ancient pottery, the Byzantine-early Islamic transition, and Diaspora Judaism in the Roman world. She has participated on over 20 excavations in Israel and in Greece, including co-directing the 1995 excavations in the Roman siege works at Masada. Since 2011, she has directed excavations at Huqoq in Israel's Galilee, which are bringing to light a monumental Late Roman (fifth century) synagogue paved with stunning mosaics.Her most recent books are Jerusalem Through the Ages: From Its Beginnings to the Crusades (2024) and Ancient Synagogues in Palestine. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Past President of the Archaeological Institute of America.Deirdre Fulton joined the Department of Religion at Baylor University in the fall semester 2013. Her area of research focuses on the Persian Period, specifically the books of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. Fulton is also interested in zooarchaeological related research, connecting text and artifact. She is involved in several ongoing excavations in Israel, including the Leon Levy Ashkelon Excavations, Tel Shimron Excavations, and also the Jezreel Valley Regional Project. Her interest in archaeology helps inform questions related to diet, sacrifice, and economy.Deirdre is a member of the Steering committees on Literature and History of the Persian period for the Society of Biblical Literature and the Feasting and Foodways for the American Schools of Oriental Research. She is also a member of the Catholic Biblical Association and American Institute of Archaeology. She is married to James Fulton, a Geochemist in the Department of Geology.

What did the world of Jesus actually look like? Not the sanitized version from paintings and Hollywood films, but the real, physical, tangible reality of first century Jewish life. Dr. Jodi Magness has spent decades digging through the soil of the Holy Land, and what she's uncovered reshapes how we understand the Gospels. From the foods Jesus likely ate to the massive ritual baths where pilgrims purified themselves before entering the Temple, archaeology opens a window into a world most of us have never truly seen.In this conversation, Dr. Magness takes us from the villages of Galilee to the fortress of Masada, from the caves of Qumran to the newly excavated Pool of Siloam. She explains why we'll probably never find an artifact directly connected to Jesus, and why that doesn't matter, because what archaeology can do is reconstruct the entire world He walked through with stunning accuracy. And then she drops a bombshell: the discovery of Herod's mausoleum at Herodium may be the most important archaeological find since the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it has massive implications for how we understand both Herod and the story of Jesus' birth.In this episode, you will learn:- Why archaeology and literary sources give us different kinds of information about the past- What everyday Jewish life looked like in the time of Jesus, including food, purity practices, and dining customs- The surprising evidence that Jesus probably ate quiche- What the Pool of Siloam and other Gospel sites reveal about the accuracy of Scripture- The real story of Masada and why it became a symbol of modern Israel- What Dr. Magness's excavations at Huqoq have uncovered about Jewish life under Christian rule- Why Herod's tomb may reshape our understanding of both his reign and the infancy narratives in MatthewGuest:Dr. Jodi Magness is the Kenan Distinguished Professor for Teaching Excellence in Early Judaism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She holds a Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from the University of Pennsylvania and has over 20 seasons of excavation experience in Israel. She currently directs excavations at Huqoq and is the author of several books:Stone and Dung, Oil and Spit: Jewish Daily Life in the Time of Jesus- https://a.co/d/02jeSFwTJerusalem through the Ages: From Its Beginnings to the Crusades- https://a.co/d/0hfOJi5wLearn more about the Huqoq excavations: huqoq.orgStay Connected:Website: https://johnnyova.comSubscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaGet The Revelation Reset on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCMTZYQL
