Biblical Archaeology Review is a bi-monthly magazine that seeks to connect the academic study of archaeology to a broad general audience seeking to understand the world of the Bible and the Near and Middle East (Syro-Palestine and/or the Levant). Since its first issue in 1975, Biblical Archaeology Review has covered the latest discoveries and controversies in the archaeology of Israel, Turkey, Jordan and the surrounding regions as well as the newest scholarly insights into both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. The magazine is published by the nondenominational and nonprofit Biblical Archaeology Society and editor Hershel Shanks.
The society also published Bible Review (1985–2005) and Archaeology Odyssey, which merged with Biblical Archaeology Review after 2005.
