Have any significant archaeological finds supported the biblical account of the fall of Jericho? Joshua 6 describes the details of the conquest, led by Joshua himself, that occurred almost 40 years after the Exodus from Egypt. But what exactly have archaeologists been able to uncover during Jericho’s recent excavations within the last century?
In this week’s podcast, archaeologist, author, and Biola Professor, Dr. Titus Kennedy joins Frank to discuss his new eye-opening research article entitled 'The Bronze Age Destruction of Jericho, Archaeology, and the Book of Joshua' where he analyzes the currently existing evidence for the historical destruction of Jericho. Frank and Titus answer questions like:
▪ Where is Jericho located, and is the site contested?
▪ How do archaeologists and scholars determine the dating of the destruction of Jericho?
▪ Who are the leading players that have contributed to excavations at Jericho?
▪ Does the archaeology seem to support or discredit Jericho’s biblical account?
▪ What conclusions have different archaeologists come to based on their data and findings?
For decades, skeptics, scholars, and archaeologists have disputed the details of this well-known story in the Bible. But where does the evidence lead? Dr. Kennedy has excavated all over the Middle East. In this exciting new episode, he'll reveal some of the fascinating artifacts discovered near Jericho and how these clues corroborate with the biblical narrative.
