John Garstang , D.Sc., LL.D.,
Rankin Professor of Archaeology,
University of Liverpool
During the last fifteen years Palestine has been an active centre of exploration. Gradually many of the old cities mentioned in the Bible have been brought to light, and the reality of many pages of Bible history has been established in this way. Dr. Garstang will speak about some of these discoveries, in particular that of Jericho; the date of its fall forms the basis of Bible chronology.
