The Perfect Companion for Every Occasion

Whether it’s a rainy day indoors, a birthday party, or a family vacation, the Bible Archaeology Coloring Book is an ideal companion. It encourages independent learning, making it perfect for quiet time or a fun group activity. As children color, they can also engage in conversations about the stories and lessons behind each artifact, enhancing their understanding of the biblical narratives.

Foster Creativity and Knowledge

In a world buzzing with screens and instant gratification, this coloring book offers a refreshing alternative. It allows children to slow down, focus, and express themselves in a constructive way. By exploring these biblical connections through art, they weave their own stories and discover a heritage steeped in wonder and wisdom.

The Location of Sodom

 Book 8 



The Location of Sodom: Second Edition: Key Facts for Navigating the Maze of Arguments for the Location of the Cities of the Plain. Toronto, Ont.: Electronic Christian Media, 2016.

  


 


 

 


The Bible describes the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19 in terms of fire and brimstone falling from heaven. But what actually happened to these cities? Where are they today? Did they survive the cataclysmic destruction? Two archaeological sites have recently been identified as Sodom, but which is the best candidate for the location of Sodom: Tall el-Hammâm, at the northern end of the Dead Sea in the Jordan Valley, or Bâb edh-Dhrâ, at the southern end of the Dead Sea in the Ghor? Trying to navigate the maze of arguments can be a daunting task. 


    Graves provides a useful tool for readers in their quest for the location of this illusive biblical city. This work provides sixty-two helpful facts grouped together in methodological, hermeneutical, geographical, chronological, archaeological, cataclysmal, and geological chapters, which set the stage for further research and consideration. This work includes the material from the Key Facts for the Location of Sodom Student Edition: Navigating the Maze of Arguments and additional information, including a chapter of the material presented in an article titled “My Journey to Locate the Genesis Pentapolis North of the Dead Sea," additional primary source quotations, and testimonial quotes for both sites.


    The advantage of such a book is that it provides a collective source of material for readers that would otherwise take a long time to assemble or otherwise be inaccessible. Numerous detailed maps, charts, tables, and photographs are included which will help facilitate understanding of the unfamiliar terrain of the Dead Sea and Jordan Valley. A glossary defines technical terms, and extensive footnotes, a bibliography, and reference to a large index of subjects and authors provides an invaluable resource to readers for future study.


Over 65 colour photographs, timelines and maps.
