Abstract
The full story of William Foxwell Albright’s introduction to biblical archaeology is not simply an archaeological one. While the story of the young child reading an archaeology book in Chile is part of Albright lore, the other influences affecting him during his parents’ mission there are less well known. Similarly, life in Iowa when the Albrights returned to America has been a lacuna in his legacy. This article seeks to fill that gap by examining Methodist Albright’s life within the Catholic context of both Chile and Iowa in the 1890s and early 1900s. As will be seen, the Methodist language of Catholic condemnation in these two locations bears a striking resemblance to the condemnations of the Canaanites later expressed in biblical archaeology.
