Is the "Biblical Archaeology Review" a good scholarly peer-review source for archaeology, or not really?
-
I know that there are three camps of archaeology, Bible Minimalists, Bible Maximalists, and Religious Conservatives. Is the Biblical Archaeological Review a good source for archaeology, or is it biased only towards the Religious Conservatives?

Answer:
BAR is a magazine written for a general audience of any religious affiliation. It is NOT a peer-review source and while considered to have a scholastic approach with leading scholars and researchers, it is really isnt a scholarly source that can really be used for citation of scholarly work in your classwork. Rather, it takes the current research and discoveries and frames it with a Biblical worldview. It uses a wide-variety of viewpoints and seeks to present all sides of controversial issues and interpretations; it does not seek to promote any particular viewpoint. It is published by the non-denominational Biblical Archeology Society- a group that utilizes archeology to shed light on the Bible.

even thought BAR has good articles written by professionals in the field, it is not a peer-reviewed publication. i suggest checking with Ulrich which is the authority on periodicals and they will be able to tell you whether or not a publication is peer-reviewed. your university library should have access to its database.
