Marc Turnage – The Bible in its Ancient World
from OnScript · host M. Lynch, M. Bates, D. Johnson, E. Heim, C. Tilling, A. Hughes, J. Martinez-Olivieri
Marc Turnage lives and breathes the world of the New Testament, through literature, archaeology, and geography. He's an expert in biblical Galilee, and comes to us live from the Galilee, where he currently helps direct an archaeological dig at Khirbet el-Araj, the possible site of biblical Bethsaida and home of Peter and Andrew. Since recording this episode, those digging at the site have confirmed that el-Araj is indeed home to a Byzantine church, and have garnered additional evidence of an urban city in the Roman era. The Roman City has definite Jewish presence as evidenced by the discovery of a knife-paired oil lamp and part of a stone vessel.
