He pioneered the field of Archaeological Geology in the 1960s at Tell Gezer. --My Father's World, edited by John D. Wineland, Mark Ziese, and James Estep is a worthy tribute to the life and career of their teacher, Reuben G. Bullard (d. 2004), who sought and succeeded in changing the lives of his students by his passion for learning about his Father's world and his devotion to God's Word.
