Forum Radio: The temple at Tel Moza

Professor Filip Čapek teaches at the Protestant Theological Faculty of Charles University. He is an expert on the Old Testament, archaeology and the history of the southern Levant. He and colleagues at the faculty have worked closely with Tel Aviv University's Institute of Archaeology on two excavation campaigns, most recently at Tel Moza, where archaeologists have continued finds at an Iron Age temple resembling Biblical descriptions of the legendary (and undiscovered Solomon's Temple). There are key differences as well, however. The Czech team, which includes students from the faculty, continues to contribute on finds which have been carefully catalogued and painstakingly preserved. Čapek has an upcoming book on temples in Israel during the Iron Age.
