- Summary
- In this biographical account of the acknowledged dean of biblical archaeology, Running and Freedman attempt to draw an objective picture of Albright and let the man speak for himself. The most famous Biblical archaeologist in the world at the time of his death, William Foxwell Albright's name is known and his work respected by everyone in his field. For many years chairman of the Oriental Seminary at Johns Hopkins University, Albright sent a whole generation of Biblical scholars out all over the world, and a large number of the leading figures in the field today are former students of this remarkable man. -- Amazon.com
