10/29/22 • 60 min

ABR has conducted archaeological digs at a couple of these conquest sites, so Henry Smith and Scott Lanser discuss some of the greater paradigms at play when scientists, historians and Christians debate if the events in the book of Joshua even happened, like the destruction of the cities of Jericho and Ai.
