Synopsis:

Unlock doors to the lost worlds of the Bible -- from the Garden of Eden to the ruins of Babylon

Did a volcano part the Red Sea? Have scientists found Eve? Was the pharaoh of the Oppression a woman? Did the Jordan River really cease flowing the day Jericho fell?

A brilliant author, scientist, and adventurer who has been called "the real Indiana Jones," Dr. Charles Pellegrino takes us on a remarkable journey from the Nile to the Tigris-Euphrates rivers -- crossing time, legend, and ancient lands to explore the unsolved mysteries of the Old Testament. Return to Sodom and Gomorrah is an epic saga of discovery that interweaves science, history, and suspense --the first book ever to bring archaeologists, scientists and theologians together to examine the same evidence. In this enthralling revelatory adventure, Pellegrino introduces us to dedicated pioneers like Benjamin Mazar, Leonard Woolley, and T. E. Lawrence, who retraced the steps of Moses to demystify the Exodus and the Flood. In the process, he enables us to view ancient relics in an extraordinary new light -- as both fascinating windows on the past and vivid signposts to the future.

From the Back Cover: Charles Pellegrino is an acclaimed author, scientist, and adventurer who is often called the real Indiana Jones. In Return to Sodom and Gomorrah, Pellegrino takes us on a revelatory scientific adventure, telling the true story of archaeologists who retraced the steps of Moses and found important evidence to support the basis of biblical stories, including the destruction of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Return to Sodom and Gomorrah traces the archaeological sites of the Old Testament from the Nile to the Jordan and Tigris-Euphrates rivers. This is the first book ever to bring archaeologists, scientists, and theologians together to look at the same evidence, and the most fascinating surprise in the end is how closely they all agree with one another.
