Dr. David Gurevich is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Institute of Archaeology in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in Classical Archaeology with particular focus on Jerusalem during the Late Second Temple period.
His research interests include Biblical Archaeology, Roman-Jewish history, and the historical context of Jerusalem's destruction. Gurevich examines how political motivations in Rome influenced the military campaign against Judaea and the subsequent destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, arguing that the Flavian emperors' propaganda needs significantly shaped these historical events.
His scholarly work demonstrates a trend toward analyzing ancient historical events through the lens of political motivation and imperial propaganda, particularly examining how Rome framed its military campaigns against distant provinces.
Gurevich holds a Ph.D in Classical Archaeology from the University of Haifa, with a dissertation focused on Jerusalem in the Late Second Temple period. His academic work is complemented by practical experience as a licensed tour guide in Israel, through which he brings archaeological insights to public education.
Professionally, he lectures worldwide on Israel-related topics, bridging academic research with public engagement. His book Exploring the Holy Land: 150 Years of the Palestine Exploration Fund demonstrates his commitment to making archaeological research accessible to broader audiences.
