Recently I got the DVD "Patterns of Evidence - Exodus" by Timothy Mahoney. In it Mr. Mahoney interviews scholars, archaeologists concerning physical evidence of places mentioned in the Bible....One expert noted that all researchers approach their subject with a bias. Makes sense.
Anyhow, I viewed the above video and was utterly fascinated - enough that I did more checking on YouTube concerning the discoveries of Sodom. The speculation surrounding its destruction is almost amusing but all agree the conflagration was immense because of the evidence found. As I compare the evidence of the fire that destroyed Jericho vs Sodom it seems to me the fire at Sodom was so extreme that I wonder if it does not reflect the wrath of God upon the sin that pervaded its culture? I am in awe....
Check it out - nature speaks much of the goodness of God that leaves one in worship of the creativity of God and how beautiful He is. Archaeology, on the other hand, speaks loudly of his wrath plus affirms the historicity of the Bible. Amazing.
