Digging for Truth Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

What happens to the bones after animals have been offered as a sacrifice? Do you just put them with the regular trash? or some place special, because they had been an offering? Archaeologist Jordan McClinton is the area supervisor for the favissa, or sacred deposit, of the dig site at Shiloh, which was the capital of Israel for over 300 years, and was where the tabernacle and sacrificial system was located. He joins Henry to talk about some of the discoveries that ABR has made in this deposit since they have been digging there.

It's so easy to find differing opinions on the first two chapters of Genesis. Were the days of creation literal days? Are there contradictions between chapters 1 and 2? Did those chapters have different authors? Dr. Cornelis van Dam joins to talk about the authority of scripture, and how we should be listening to what is in Genesis 1 and 2.

ABR has had a few questions come in along the same lines recently including: did the Israelites just take God, YHWH, out of a pantheon of gods, or Canaanite gods and adopt Him as their God? Is YHWH the right name to use for God? The King James Bible uses Jehovah sometimes, is that right? Is the King James Version the best English translation? What about the ESV?  Henry breaks down these questions along with some written responses from ABR's president, Scott Lanser.

Where did Abraham receive his call from the Lord? Was it Ur? or Harran? Both? And which city of Ur was it? Dr. Matt Glassman joins to discuss the pros and cons of the two different cities of Ur, and which one Abraham may have lived in.

Where do Neanderthals, Homo Erectus, and other skeletal remains fall into a timeline that fits a creation model? Were Neanderthals created in the image of God? What criteria makes someone human?

ABR receives questions all the time about history and the Bible. Sometimes those get responses in ABR's magazine Bible & Spade. Questions like: What does it mean when a thousand years is like a day? How long is a day when in Genesis it talks about evening and morning? Did Moses use multiple sources when writing the book of Genesis?
