I’m catching up on e-mails and just got notice that Hershel Shanks, editor of Biblical Archaeology Review has published his autobiography titled Freeing the Dead Sea Scrolls and Other Adventures of an Archaeology Outsider. It is published by Continuum and will be available July 24, 2010. Richard Bernstein had some good things to say about Shanks and his autobiography in the recent New York Times article titled Shining a Light on Ancient Israel. Jim West brings a different perspective in his recent blog post at Zwinglius Redivivus titled Really Hershel, Really?. Personally, I’m a long time subscriber to Biblical Archaeology Review and am excited to delve in to Shanks’ autobiography, even if Jim West isn’t happy about it.

I know. I know. Would you feel better if I told you I really like BAR for the pictures? If not BAR, what other publication can I subscribe to in order to get my bi-monthly archaeology fix?
