    16: Episode 16: The Exodus and the Case of the Impossibly High Numbers
    May 3 2022

Is the Bible just wrong or is there another way of understanding the biblical and archaeological evidence? If you're interested in this topic, tune in for this episode of the Bible Gumshoe Podcast.

  • 15: Episode 15: The Case of the Missing Evidence for the Exodus

    15: Episode 15: The Case of the Missing Evidence for the Exodus
    Apr 25 2022
    Critical scholarship has boldly stated that there is no evidence whatsoever to confirm the biblical account of Israel's exodus from the land of Egypt under Moses. This is the first of three episodes that explore the merits of three principal objections to the historicity and reliability of the biblical account of the exodus. In this episode, we set forth the critical challenge to the Bible's account and deal with one of three principal objections. The first objection is that nowhere in the annals of Egyptian history do we find independent confirmation of the Bible's story. Is this true? What does it tell us about the reliability of the exodus?

On this Christmas edition of the Bible Gumshoe podcast, we explore what's really going on in Matthew 2:1-12 and the meaning behind the wisemen from the east and the star that led them.
