CBS Seminar: The Bible and Archaeology

The Exodus from Egypt and the Revelation at Mount Sinai

Dr. Freund on site at Bethsaida

The world-renowned archaeologist, Dr. Richard Freund, excavated a site in southern Israel that may very well be the site of Mount Sinai, as recounted in his book, Digging Through the Bible. It was recognized by the Vatican as such in 2011. This exciting powerpoint presentation will show what we know about the Exodus from new excavations in Egypt and Israel and why the account of the Exodus and Mount Sinai events continue to have ancient and modern meaning.
