Summary
Summary
Often called the real Indiana Jones, Charles Pellegrino-acclaimed author, scientist, and adventurer-takes the listener on an extraordinary tour of Old Testament archeological sites from the Nile to the Jordan and Tigris-Euphrates rivers. Delightfully candid and refreshingly free of religious dogma, this fascinating and revelatory tale brings together archaeologists, scientists, and theologians to view the same archeological evidence and oral histories.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Scientist/adventurer Pellegrino provides a dialogue on
Biblical history which blends science with history and a format which reads
like an investigative novel. Ancient mysteries are surveyed, with
archaeological findings linking myths to facts. A lively and intriguing account.” —Midwest Book Review
“Blending the work of archeologists, scientists and
theologians, Pellegrino explores the factual bases of the events recorded in
the Old Testament.” —Publishers Weekly
“Pellegrino has an autodidact’s omnivorous curiosity to
match his high-flying imagination…With a natural sense of storytelling, he
blends theories of antiquity with the adventures of field work…[Return to Sodom
and Gomorrah] reads like a beery breeze-shooting session with a
college prof.” —Kirkus Reviews
“History comes alive…Pellegrino takes us along on the
adventure, out into space and down into the bowels of the Earth, back to the
dawn of time and, ultimately, forward into the future.” —Jewish World Review
