- Interactive Map: Sennacherib’s invasion of Judah
This interactive resource on the Assyrian king Sennacherib’s invasion of Hezekiah’s Judah in 701 by Craig C. Broyles is a useful classroom tool, as it shows parallel accounts of the event. This piece appeared in a recent issue of Bible Study Magazine. Public school teachers need to be aware of how they introduce resources that reflect values and views of a particular religious community. This November issue includes selections from the Jewish Publication Society, and Bible Study Magazine, both of which include religious understandings of the Bible. Because the academic content of these pieces are both sound and engaging, we include them here.
