The Progress Of Biblical Archaeology: An Addrss Read Before The Society Of Biblical Archaeology, On The 21St Of March 1871 by Samuel Birch. The address, presented before the Society of Biblical Archaeology and reprinted from the British and Foreign Evangelical Review, surveys the development of biblical archaeology as a discipline. It traces how the study of oriental literature, philology, and history—tied to the interpretation of inscriptions—has advanced in the last fifty years and how decipherment of hieroglyphs and other scripts has linked Biblical history with Egyptian, Assyrian, and Babylonian monuments. Birch highlights the contributions of Champollion and subsequent scholars, the role of Egyptian records in confirming biblical events, and the importance of cuneiform sources from Assyria and Babylonia for understanding the Old Testament. He discusses key discoveries, excavations, and inscriptions at sites such as Sinai, Siloam, Moab, and Hauran, and argues for the creation of a dedicated society to publish findings, foster philology, and illuminate early world history through monuments and inscriptions rather than theology alone.
