Why do we believe what we believe? Hopefully we all can answer that question, "Because the evidence for my belief is greater than any other."
For many skeptics the absence of evidence for a Semitic people in Egypt invalidates the scriptural accounts of the Exodus (for followers of Judaism, the greatest ever acts of God for His covenant people), and the Hebrew dynasty of Saul, David and Solomon, a vitally important prophetic and historic fact in establishing the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
This month we will begin reviewing the 2015 feature film exploring the historicity of the Exodus, from Joseph to Joshua. Please join us as we study the patterns of evidence for this critical period in biblical history, and as we weigh the reasonableness of the challenge to historical orthodoxy required to accept these data.
