Summary of Steven Collins & Latayne C. Scott's Discovering the City of Sodom

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Holy Land is split down the middle by the Jordan River, which runs north to south through the Great Rift. The northern border of the Jordan River is defined by the Lebanon Mountains and the iconic Mount Hermon, the grey-haired mountain whose summit marks the border of modern Israel. #2 Israel is a thin, vulnerable place that jabs toward its menacing neighbors. It is the most documented eight thousand square miles on earth. #3 The town of Capernaum is one of three cities that were cursed by Jesus. Yet that same city was extraordinarily blessed when he healed a servant of the man who built its synagogue. #4 The most disputed real estate on the planet is Jerusalem, which was recaptured by Israel in the 1967 war. The city is surrounded by ruins and buildings under excavation, as the Israeli government’s commitment to archaeology is more than just a scientific endeavor; it’s the Jewish nation’s attempt to confirm a entire history that a Muslim world would deny ever existed.
