Dr. Titus Kennedy is a professional archaeologist and a research fellow at Discovery Institute.  He is a consultant, writer and guide for history and archaeology documentaries and curricula and has directed archaeological projects in Bible lands.  He’s researched and photographed archaeological sites and artifacts around the world with involvement in projects at 18 sites spanning 6 countries and has conducted artifact research at museums and collections around the world. He is the author of several books including: Unearthing the Bible: 101 Archaeological Discoveries that Bring the Bible to Life, Excavating the Evidence for Jesus, The Essential Archaeological Guide to Bible Lands: Uncovering Biblical Sites of the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean World and the newly released, Archaeology and the People of the Bible: Exploring the Evidence for the Historical Existence of Bible Characters.

People are sometimes skeptical about the Bible’s historical accuracy.  While they may begrudgingly admit that the Bible is correct about certain cities or other locations, they have a harder time believing that the characters were real.  So are the examples that Dr. Kennedy points to firm, probable, tentative or speculative?  Also, how does he know that his discoveries are related to that exact name in the Bible?  These questions are answered showing the historic and scientific honesty that Dr. Kennedy brings to his research and that’s therefore displayed in his book.

So join Jim and Dr. Kennedy on this audio journey as they discuss the archaeological evidence for various Bible characters such as Danel from Ezekiel, King David, King Ahab, Jezebel, Sanballat, Herod the 1st, John the Baptist and the apostle Peter.
