The Ancients Podcast: Dylan Johnson on Sodom and Gomorrah

This week saw the release of an interview given by Cardiff’s Dylan Johnson to Tristan Hughes of The Ancients Podcast.

The discussion focuses on the Biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, examining whether the story of these cities is rooted in any real historical evidence. Dylan picks apart the Biblical narrative, highlighting differing understandings of the cities within different Biblical books and discussing the context for why the story may have been created. He draws attention to the important theological questions the story raises, such as those surrounding ideas of sin and divine mercy, while also discussing where Sodom and Gomorrah may have been located, based upon textual, geographical, and archaeological analysis.
