The Greatest Hits of Biblical Archæology – John Bloom, PhD

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking talk by Dr John Bloom, where the mysteries of ancient history come alive! Drawing on decades of research at the intersection of archaeology, history, and ancient texts, Dr Bloom takes audiences on a journey through some of archaeology’s most fascinating discoveries — revealing how physical evidence from the past illuminates the world’s oldest stories and challenges the way we think about history and culture. Whether you’re curious about ancient civilizations, archaeology’s role in uncovering our shared human past, or how discoveries shape our understanding of sacred texts, this talk will inspire you with big ideas from the ancient world brought vividly into the present.

This is a free event, though an offering for our speaker would be appreciated!
