Epic Archaeology – Ted Wright pt 2

Epic Archaeology – Ted Wright pt 2

Many people today think the Bible is just a collection of writings from the ancient Middle East. Put together in such a way that it weaves an interesting story. Some fact, some fiction, some mysticism. But the truth presented in lopsided, one sided and does not truly convey what actually happened. A collection of stories that were based, basically on man’s imagination, manipulation and political ambitions of that day.

But, when presented with scientific evidence; when presented with actual artifacts from ancient times that back up what the Bible says truly happened…well, the results can be, shall we say, “Epic.”

My guest today is the Executive Director of “Epic Archaeology,” Ted Wright. Epic Archaeology is dedicated to cutting edge research as well as bringing the wonder of archaeology, historical investigation and discovery to the everyday person.

Ted is freelance teacher, writer, researcher and founder of EpicArchaeology.org. For over a decade, Ted has been a speaker on Christian apologetics as well as Biblical Archaeology across North America & internationally. In addition to public speaking, Ted was the former Executive and Teaching Director of CrossExamined.org. Ted has also appeared on numerous television and radio programs including the History Channel’s TV miniseries – “Mankind: The Story of All of Us,” as well as CNN’s recent documentary on the historical resurrection of Jesus, “Jesus: Faith. Fact. Forgery.”  Ted has a B.A. in Anthropology & Archaeology from the Cobb Institute of Archaeology at Mississippi State University and an M.A. in Christian apologetics with a concentration in philosophy from Southern Evangelical Seminary, where he served as graduate research assistant to Dr. Norman Geisler.  Ted has participated in numerous excavations and is an Adjunct Professor at the Charlotte Christian College and Theological Seminary.

You mentioned the actual location of the Crucifixion is under the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre. Are there any tours you can take that take you below that area?

I was watching the videos on your website, and one that caught my attention was about the discrepancy concerning the “Walls of Jericho.” Can you explain how archaeology corrected a wrong interpretation that was trying to disprove the Bible?

Tell us about your favorite excavation you have been on. What was your favorite and what was the big “ah-ha” moment for you?

Biblical Archaeology is also a study of how people lived in that day, correct? Like the cultural, day to day life of the people?

Ted, this all fascinating to me. I could go on for hours just picking your brain on this stuff. But we are about out of time for today.  If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?

You have a newsletter people can subscribe to as well, correct?

I will be putting links to all of this in the show notes as well.

Folks, there you have it. Science, when correctly applied, can back up the Biblical accounts we have had handed down to us through the Bible. Archaeology is simply looking for physical pieces of history that have been preserved through the eons of time. And, as you have heard today from Ted Wright, time and time again, it is proving the Bible to be accurate! Amen!

Ted, I want to thank you for taking the time to come and share with us today and I want to thank you for the work you are doing for the Body of Christ.

That is all the time we have for today. You need to go to Ted’s website, www.epicarchaeology.organd look around. There is so much information on that website. I love it. And be sure to sign up to his newsletter while you are there. It will keep you abreast of things happening, in the archaeology circles, that will help you in defending your Faith. Amen!
