The are lots of frequently asked questions about places and events in the Bible, so we thought we'd start to talk about some of them, starting off with Who were the Nephilim? Where is the Garden of Eden? Is there archaelogical evidence for the Tower of Babel? Where are Sodom and Gomorrah?

Dr. Kennedy joins Henry to talk about the evidence related to Jesus' birth, life, death and resurrection, and about his book: Excavating the Evidence for Jesus: The Archaeology and History of Christ and the Gospels.

The resurrection is the defining historical event related to Christianity, so how can you have a discussion with someone about that? Ted Wright from Epic Archaeology joins Henry in a discussion about apologetics, and tools to help give a reason for the faith in Jesus. Ted lays out four questions to help when discussing:

Does truth exist? Does God exist? Are miracles possible? and is the New Testament reliable?

If the answer is yea to all four, then that is pretty solid logic to be standing on during a discussion about faith.

Controversial topic alert! Henry Smith has been working on ABR's Genesis 5 & 11 Chronology Project, which has a main goal of determining if Genesis 5 and 11, and other directly relevant biblical texts, can result in a calculable chronology of human history from Adam to Abraham. But in studying the source material in different Biblical manuscripts, these numbers in the Genesis 5 & 11 genealogies don't match between the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint and the Samaritan Pentateuch. So then the question becomes, who changed these texts? and why? Which then leads to controversial theories like the ones Henry Smith discusses on this episode.
