Much of the Bible is narrative which presents a historical record of events. Archaeology scientifically observes data that can clarify, affirm, or illuminate events of the past. But does the archaeological record coincide with the biblical record? In this episode of The Bellator Christi Podcast, we are joined by archaeologist Ted Wright. Mr. Wright graduated from the Cobb Institute of Archaeology at Mississippi State University and received a Master of Arts in Apologetics from Southern Evangelical Seminary. Mr. Wright has been featured on the CNN’s program Jesus: Faith, Fact, or Forgery and the History Channel’s program Mankind: the Story of All of Us. This episode will present evidence supporting the biblical claim for the Exodus and for many of the details of the Christmas story.
