The Horns of Moses Whenever visitors arrive at the Church of St. Peter-in-Chains in Rome, they are struck with the grandeur of Michelangelo’s sculpture of Moses but ultimately are vexed by his appearance. Why does Moses have horns on his head? In our contemporary context, horned figures often represent devils and demons. Most docents or tour guides would immediately launch into an explanation involving a mistranslation in the Bible. But the history of a horned Moses is actually much more complicated and contextual. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/people-cultures-in-the-bible/people-in-the-bible/the-horns-of-moses/?

Members phkrause Posted February 26 Author Members Posted February 26 Why Biblical Archaeology Still Matters Biblical archaeology is not a niche offshoot of archaeology. It was there at the beginning. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, excavations in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Levant became laboratories for refining the methods that would define modern archaeology. These places—steeped in biblical history—helped establish stratigraphy, ceramic typology, and systematic field recording as essential tools for the discipline. While interpretations have evolved and been contested over time, the methodological innovations born in these ancient lands continue to underpin archaeology today. In a real sense, modern archaeology and biblical archaeology grew up together. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/archaeology-today/biblical-archaeology-topics/biblical-archaeology-basics/why-biblical-archaeology-still-matters/?

Mary, Simeon or Anna: Who First Recognized Jesus as Messiah? Being first to hear doesn’t always mean being first to understand. In Luke’s birth narrative, Mary is the first to be told that Jesus will be the messiah. Luke adds that she “treasures the words” the angel Gabriel speaks to her. But Mary is also puzzled by the divine message; she is “perplexed” when the angel greets her and must “ponder” the meaning of his words (Luke 1:29; see also 2:19). In this, Mary contrasts sharply with Simeon and Anna, two elderly individuals who happen to be in the Temple when Joseph and Mary bring the infant Jesus to Jerusalem for the first time. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/new-testament/mary-simeon-or-anna-who-first-recognized-jesus-as-messiah/?
