Jericho Unearthed [videorecording]

The battle of Jericho is one of the most enduring biblical stores. The description of the "walls falling down" is among its most well-known accounts. Yet, the most famous excavation of this ancient site, carried out in the 1950s under the direction of Kathleen Kenyon, claims that there wasn't even a city at Jericho -- much less city walls -- at the time when Joshua supposedly conquered it. What are the implications of the battle of Jericho being disproven? Wouldn't the Bible be demonstrated untrustworthy? Couldn't it be argued that the Jewish people have no more right to the land of Israel than anyone else? The implications really are staggering! For more than fifty years, scholars have built a wall of doubt against the historical accuracy of the Bible using Jericho as one of its cornerstones. It's time to face these challenges head on! It's time to determine whether or not the conclusions of modern scholarship stand in light of the evidence or if those arguments don't, in fact, collapse like Jericho's walls. Join us, as we return to the site of one of history's most important battles in order to explore the crucial question relating to Joshua's conquest: Did the walls of Jericho really come tumbling down? - Container.
