Real or Fairy-Tale? 11 Bible Characters Found in the Dirt with Dr. Titus Kennedy

Is the Bible just a collection of ancient myths and fairy tales? Or did the people named on these ancient pages really walk the earth? Archaeologist and author Dr. Titus Kennedy returns to show us that history isn't just written in books. It’s buried in the dirt!

Listen (or watch!) closely as Frank and Titus investigate the "receipts" left behind by kings, queens, and commoners that demonstrate the Bible is documenting REAL history, not just parables. With Titus' new book 'Archaeology and the People of the Bible' as their guide, they tackle questions like:

-- Who was Tiglath-Pileser III, and what does he teach us about interpreting the Bible correctly?
-- How do the writings of Josephus and ancient Ugaritic epics validate the biblical text?
-- What seals have been found with obscure Old Testament figures stamped on them?
-- What Old Testament discovery forced some archaeologists out of their skepticism of the Bible's historicity?
-- What extra-biblical evidence exists for the notorious King Herod?
-- Why is Capernaum considered one of the most fascinating sites in all of archaeology?
-- Why did some ancient critics think Jesus was a magician?
-- What was so terrifying about the Assyrians that made Jonah run the other way?
-- Is it possible that the next big discovery is sitting dormant in the basement of the British Museum?
-- Who was Salome, and what's her connection to the New Testament?
-- What archaeological evidence do we have for the existence of the Apostle Peter and Jesus?

Archaeological discoveries continue to provide ancient attestation for those named in the Bible, showing the historical reality of their existence. While Frank and Titus can't cover all 124 figures from the book in one hour, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the evidence most people never get to see. To dive deeper into these discoveries and the people who left them behind, be sure to grab your copy of 'Archaeology and the People of the Bible' today!
