Dr. Kyle Keimer is one of the newest professors at Pillar Seminary. In this episode, Dr. Keimer meets up with the Pillar Podcast team to discuss his fascinating work in archaeology and how it helps unravel the world of the Bible.

Kyle specializes in the archaeology of ancient Israel and the Hebrew Bible. Currently, his research focuses on the archaeology of the early Israelite monarchy, the books of Samuel, historical geography, and Israelite religion. Since 2018 he has co-directed excavations at Khirbet el-Ra’i, Israel.
