PITTSBURGH THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY HOSTS AN EVENING OF ARCHAEOLOGY NOV. 18 

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary will celebrate an evening of archaeology Tues., Nov. 18 beginning at 5:30 p.m. Israel Finkelstein, Jacob Malkow professor of the archaeology at Tel Aviv University, will present the lecture “New Revelations from Megiddo” in the Hicks Memorial Chapel. During that time, he will discuss new insights from his on-going excavation at Megiddo, a site that commanded the Jezreel Valley where critical trade and military routes crossed.
