Biblical Archaeology—New Testament focuses on unearthing and studying the remnants of the period and places associated with the life and times of Jesus Christ and the early Christian community. This specialized branch of archaeology delves into the ruins of ancient buildings, cities, and other structures relevant to the New Testament narratives. Archaeologists meticulously analyze discovered artifacts such as pottery, inscriptions, and ancient texts, which illuminate the socio-political and cultural contexts of the New Testament era. These findings enrich our understanding of the historical settings in which the New Testament was written and the early Christians lived. They shed light on the diverse languages spoken across regions such as Judea, Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome, which were integral to the spread of Christianity.

The field of New Testament archaeology gained momentum following significant advancements in understanding ancient languages and scripts, notably with the decipherment of the Rosetta Stone in 1822, which unlocked Egyptian hieroglyphics. This breakthrough was a precursor to the systematic archaeological excavations that began in regions prominent in the New Testament, such as Egypt and Asia Minor, enhancing our comprehension of the biblical narrative and the early Christian era.
