Did 2 million people really leave Egypt in the Exodus as the census numbers from the books of Exodus and Numbers really suggest? Why haven't archaeologists found any evidence in the "wilderness" for such an enormous migration of Israelites out of Egypt? Is the Bible just wrong or is there another way of understanding the biblical and archaeological evidence? If you're interested in this topic, tune in for this episode of the Bible Gumshoe Podcast.

Critical scholarship has boldly stated that there is no evidence whatsoever to confirm the biblical account of Israel's exodus from the land of Egypt under Moses. This is the first of three episodes that explore the merits of three principal objections to the historicity and reliability of the biblical account of the exodus. In this episode, we set forth the critical challenge to the Bible's account and deal with one of three principal objections. The first objection is that nowhere in the annals of Egyptian history do we find independent confirmation of the Bible's story. Is this true? What does it tell us about the reliability of the exodus?

Did three kings from the east come to worship the baby Jesus when he was born? Did their gifts have special prophetic meaning for his life and ministry?

On this Christmas edition of the Bible Gumshoe podcast, we explore what's really going on in Matthew 2:1-12 and the meaning behind the wisemen from the east and the star that led them.

In this episode, we talk about what makes a good Bible translation. Is the best translation more formal or more functional? Today, we see that it is a myth that the best translations are "literal" translations.

Did you ever wonder how the story of Satan's fall got its start? Bet you thought it came from the Bible. Well, if you did, you might be surprised to learn about this story's murky history. It's really a hot affair, if you get my drift.

In this episode of the Bible Gumshoe Podcast, we continue to explore the origins of Satan in the Bible, looking at Genesis 3. Did Eve really talk to a snake? Did animals talk before the fall? Well, come join us for a journey back to the beginning to see what the Bible really teaches.

In this episode of the Bible Gumshoe Podcast, we take a deep-dive into Isaiah 14:12ff and ask the question about origins of Satan and his fall into sin.

In this episode, we look at the historical contribution of Desierius Erasmus of Rotterdam to the development of the Bible and Bible translation. Without this man and his work, not only would there not have been a Protestant Reformation (as we know it) but it is very likely that the history of the development of the Bible and Bible translation would have been radically different.
