Ancient Israel subject for David M. Kennedy Center lecture April 14

Adam E. Miglio, assistant professor of archaeology at Wheaton College, will be speaking at Brigham Young University Wednesday, April 14, at 11 a.m. in 238 Herald R. Clark Building. Miglio’s lecture will be titled “Tribes, States and Ancient Israel.”

Miglio has been at Wheaton College since 2008. He teaches courses on Biblical Hebrew, Ugaritc, Aramaic, ancient Near Eastern History and Old Testament archaeology. He also conducts research on the languages and history of ancient Syria and Palestine.
