New 3J Exhibit Opening
The New Testament opens with this verse: “This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah—the son of David, the son of Abraham.” The TBS 3J Museum proudly announces the opening of the World of Abraham exhibit. Come learn about literacy in ancient Mesopotamia through three cuneiform tablets from Ur III, Abraham’s hometown. Lamps, juglets, and magic bowls round out the new exhibit. Guided tours are available on request. The exhibit opens February 1.
Digging the Bible this Summer

The Shiloh Excavation is one of ABR’s most important research projects. The Tabernacle stood at Shiloh for 300 years, where the people of Israel gathered to worship. This is where the Ark of the Covenant resided! We have a number of core goals for the Shiloh dig:
Investigate the location of the biblical tabernacle and any associated structures.
Uncover evidence of the biblical sacrificial system.
Understand daily life in Israel at the time of the Conquest and the period of the Judges.
Introduce the new technologies of wet-sifting and computerization in the field.
Equip students and volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to scientifically excavate in the Land of the Bible.
Build on the regional understanding of life in the Highlands of Israel gained by ABR's previous excavations at Khirbet Nisya (1979-2002) and Khirbet el-Maqatir (1995-2016).
