Thinking things through in a theological safe space
We are delighted to finally announce the second book written by Dr. Ron Choong - Ancient near East in the Bible: Treasures from the Met Museum. Along with World's Oldest Bible, they are now both available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
"If you are a museum lover, one of top 5 in the world is surely the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The others are in London, Paris, Berlin and St Petersburg. In this book, largely written during Covid 2020-2021, I introduced the importance of museums as depositories of learning.
Christianity is a faith based on the written word. It is not surprising then that the Ancient Near East, Abraham’s homeland, plays such a foundation role to the writing of the Bible. Within the ANE, Canaanite became the eventual home of Moses’ spiritual descendants and the geographical origin of biblical Israel. In 1928, a stunning discovery of Canaanite texts in Ugarit in modern Syria set the stage for amazing advances in understanding the Bible. I included almost three dozen full color photos of artifacts from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s ANE gallery, along with their relevance to the Bible.
I hope this will serve as a helpful guide especially to those who are unable to make a trip to New York City. The book is also accompanied by dramatic and visually stunning infographics to summarize the Muses, the NE civilizations, the Canaanite Gods, and the Ugaritic Library." - Ron Choong
This book, along with World's Oldest Bible - Science and the Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, are available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Lulu.com.

Our conviction that God is present everywhere drives our exploration of the sciences (God’s revelation), history (God’s presence), and theology (God’s witness) to explain the reason for our belief with integrity and compassion.
