Welcome to Bible Fiber! We are taking a break today from our Ezekiel deep dive to catch another archaeologist before he sets off for a summer expedition in Israel. Today’s guest is Chris McKinny. Chris has his PhD from Bar Ilan University in Israel. His dissertation focused on the historical geography and archaeology of the town lists of Judah and Benjamin in the book of Joshua. If you have never met a biblical geography junkie, you are in luck because you are going to today.
Chris currently serves as an adjunct faculty member at several universities. I had the privilege of taking a class with Chris on the Peoples of the Bible two years ago. He is also a senior staff member on the Tel Burna Archaeological Project which is why he is heading to Israel soon. He is the host of a great podcast called OnScript: Biblical World. Check out his recent episode on the Gilgamesh Epic. A couple years ago, I had a great time in Israel with Chris and the rest of his team at Gesher Media filming an upcoming feature film called Quest for the Throne of God, which I want an update on as well.
