In 1988-89 he was the Kress Fellow at the Al-bright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem and from 2000-2012 was the organizer and chair of the session on “Hebrew Bible, History and Archaeology” for the in-ternational conference of the American Schools of Oriental Re-search. A book entitled Digging Deeper into the Word (Warren Christian Apologetics Center) was released in November 2015, and deals with aspects of archaeology and the Bible. H e h a s worked as an Assistant to the Edi-tor for the Anchor Bible Dictio-nary (Doubleday 1992), editing some 450 articles on archaeology and historical geography that ap-pear in the six-volume publication. He also has several articles in the dictionary, as well as arti-cles in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Archaeology in the Near East (Oxford, 1997), the Oxford En-cyclopedia of the Bible and Archaeology (2013), the Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible (Eerdmans
2000), and the New Interpreters’ Dictionary of the Bible (Abingdon 2008-2009). He has written the introductions for the historical books in the Old Testament Introduction for College Press (2005), as well as a chapter on the relationship of archaeology to the Bible. In addition, he wrote
the chapter on Ruth in the Zonder-van Illustrated Biblical Back-ground Commentary on the Old Testament (Grand Rapids, 2009) notes of which also appear in the NIV and NKJV Cultural Back-grounds Study Bibles (Zondervan, 2016 and 2017 respectively). He currently is working on the second major volume of the excavations of the work at Tel Beth-shemesh to be published by the Institute of Archaeology at the Tel Aviv Uni-versity. After a generous donation from Linda Byrd Smith of Little Rock, Manor has put together the Linda
Byrd Smith Museum of Biblical Archaeology on the campus of Harding. The museum opened in April 2017 and has already received hundreds of visitors. The Democrat Gazette Three Rivers Edition devoted a feature article about him and the museum in their Sunday, June 25 edition.

Where Does True Knowledge Come From? (From CreationMo-ments.com)
1 Corinthians 1:25 – “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
Americans lead the industrialized world in belief in creationism and a literal Bible. A recent study by a University of Cincinnati researcher, compares American's belief in a recent creation and the truth of the Bible with beliefs in other coun-tries. The study found that 45 per-cent of Americans believe that God created the world less than 10,000 years ago. Another 40 percent try to mix God and evolution. Only
ten percent believe in atheistic evolution.
In comparison, only seven per-cent of the citizens of Great Britain take the Genesis account of cre-ation literally. Surveys of people in Norway, Russia and the Nether-lands produced results similar to Great Britain. Interestingly, five percent of the physical scientists polled in the United States believe the account of creation as taught in the Bible.
The study concluded that Ameri-ca is losing its scientific competi-tiveness because so many Ameri-cans believe in creation and the truth of the Bible. But scientific progress has come about because, histori-cally scientists be-lieved that we live in an ordered creation that follows the rules imposed on it by a Creator. They saw sci-ence as the discovery of God's order. Isaac Newton wrote more Bible commentaries than he did scientific books. Taking the Bible literally, he concluded that the earth was less
than 7,000 years old. Other exam-ples from history could be multi-plied. But the lesson of human his-tory is that true scientific progress is possible only when man recog-nizes that all knowledge and wis-dom comes from our Creator God through the Scriptures He has giv-en us.

Barabbas, Soldiers, and Jesus’ Brothers Once when I worshiped in Brook-ings, the preacher there, Mike Wilk
gave these insights about some people connected with Jesus: “Barabbas represented the agenda of the Jews more than Jesus did.” “The soldiers were busy doing things at the foot of the cross, oblivious to the won-derful thing God was doing for them.” “The bothers of Jesus were not present at the cross and so John took care of Mary.”
