| Summary |
Charles Pellegrino is an acclaimed author, scientist, and adventurer who is often called the real Indiana Jones. In Return to Sodom and Gomorrah, Pellegrino takes us on a revelatory scientific adventure, telling the true story of archaeologists who retraced the steps of Moses and found important evidence to support the basis of biblical stories, including the destruction of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Return to Sodom and Gomorrah traces the archaeological sites of the Old Testament from the Nile to the Jordan and Tigris-Euphrates rivers. This is the first book ever to bring archaeologists, scientists, and theologians together to look at the same evidence, and the most fascinating surprise in the end is how closely they all agree with one another.-- Publisher. |
