Summary

In this episode, we welcome Titus Kennedy to the show. He is a field archaeologist that has been involved in excavations and survey projects at several archaeological sites in biblical lands, including directing and supervising multiple projects spanning the Bronze Age through the Byzantine period. His archaeological interests include biblical archaeology, the interplay between ancient documents and the archaeological record, experimental archaeology, ancient demography, and the similarities between cultures of antiquity. He is also a Research Fellow at the Discovery Institute, teaches as an Adjunct Professor at Biola University, and has been a consultant, writer, and guide for history and archaeology documentaries and curricula. Additionally, he is the author of two books: Unearthing the Bible (2020) and Excavating the Evidence for Jesus (2022). In this interview, we discuss how he became interested in archaeology, the biggest misconceptions about that field of study, how Christians should view and use archaeology, the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, the “holy grails” of Christian archaeology, how we know that Jesus actually cleared the Temple on multiple occasions, and much more. Let’s get into it…  Episode notes and links HERE Donate to support our mission of equipping men to push back darkness Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
