Set during the turbulent final decades leading up to the sacking and destruction of Jerusalem, the book of Jeremiah is an epic story of intransigence, contention and hope. But just how sure can we be about its historical accuracy?
On today’s program, given in memory of the upcoming anniversary of the death of one of Jerusalem’s greatest biblical archaeologists, Dr. Eilat Mazar, host Brent Nagtegaal gives a personal retelling of the discovery of seal impressions belonging to enemies of the Prophet Jeremiah discovered on Dr. Mazar’s excavations.
