Hi, I know that throughout the 19th century, advances in archaeology and historical study of ancient near east and the decipherment of texts, heavily impacted questions on the historicity of the different parts of the bible. I was wondering if there are any books which tell the story of how these discoveries changed and impacted biblical studies specifically in 19th century, thanks!

Israel Finkelstein's The Bible Unearthed sort of covers this topic for the Old Testament.

Edit: and IIRC, Bart D. Ehrman's Jesus, Interrupted does the same for the New Testament.
