And finally:

Finally, we must ask what is of
lasting value in Albright’s Biblical and historical syntheses. The answer
is, very little. His central theses have all been overturned, partly by further advances in Biblical criticism, but
mostly by the continuing archaeolog- ical research of younger Americans and Israelis to whom he himself
gave encouragement and momentum. The
negative side of all this is that the “revolution” that Albright confi-dently predicted has indeed come about at last, but hardly in the way that he anticipated-quite the oppo- site. The irony is that, in the long run, it will have been the newer, “secular” archaeology that contributed the
most to Biblical studies, not “Biblical
archaeology.”
