![]() The CenturyOne Foundation, Inc. was founded in 1996 but has now been closed. Its goals were to fund in whole and/or in part archaeological projects, historical and biblical research, lectures and symposiums, publications and education on subjects pertaining to the time of the first century C.E./A.D. Funding for important projects, such as those we support, is difficult to find. Agencies on which many institutions have traditionally depended on have had to cut back funding drastically or altogether. Rising costs of field work in the Middle East have made archaeological projects very complex and expensive, making the funding of them beyond the means of a single institution or often even a consortium of institutions. The CenturyOne Foundation, Inc. was established to help fill this void. It is by projects such as we have supported, under the direction of some of the most respected scholars in their fields, that we have and can gain a deeper understanding of the Bible, its meaning, and the context in which its events took place. ![]() |
