Life

Gibson was the lead archaeologist excavating a wilderness cave he associated with John the Baptist in 2000 and later wrote The Cave of John the Baptist.^[2] Such claim has been criticized by other scholars and, according to Hershel Shanks, "few, if any, scholars in Israel think this cave has anything to do with John the Baptist".^[3]^[4]^[5] He later led a team that found a 10-line ritual cup at Mount Zion.^[6]^[7]

He is the editor of The Illustrated Dictionary & Concordance of the Bible^[8] and was co-editor with Avraham Negev of the Archaeological Encyclopedia of the Holy Land.^[9] In his The Final Days of Jesus: The Archaeological Evidence (2009)^[10] he advanced the theory that Jesus was killed for acts of healing.^[11]

Gibson has appeared in a number of biblical archaeology documentaries.^[12]
