"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."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This is advertised as an interpretation of biblical events within a rational and historical context. Get ready to get quite a bit more. A bit all across the board, abounding with theories, some well-grounded, others a bit more speculative that are not only about the biblical past but also about the future of mankind, space and ecological dangers, the author shows to know much about everything. However, as he gives us interesting tidbits about what comes to his mind, the overall effort comes across as a bit unfocused. Forgivable, in my opinion, after all this is Charles Pellegrino for you, a world travelled archeologist and jack of many trades. There is much to learn for the casual reader, and apart from facts and interesting places the author has actually visited, the author dazzles us with speculative theories that if true would change history as we currently understand it.

I love this book! If you love history, archaeology, and mystery...then you will too! (

Pellegrino is an unorthodox scholar, and this book is unorthodox, but it makes you think about some new things in biblical scholarship. (

When I meet the maker of the universe, I would like to

be able to tell Him a little of how it works.

- JOHN D. ISAACS

All philosophy ultimately dovetails with religion - which

is ultimately reducible to history. All history is

ultimately reducible to biology. Biology is ultimately

reducible to chemistry. Chemistry is ultimately reducible

to physics. Physics is ultimately reducible to mathematics.

And mathematics is ultimately reducible to philosophy.

-ED BISHOP AND C. PELLEGRINO'S FIRST LAW

Incipit

There is a crack in the Earth where a mountain was turned on its side, then swallowed whole in a spasm of quakings and compressions impressive even by the standards of today's nuclear propulsion think-tankers.
