Found it FascinatingBy M.EvansDiscovering the City of Sodom is written for the average reader; the layman; the lover of history; the person seeking to better understand the Bible. While it is laden with archaeological terms and scientific information; both people with or without a scientific mind will enjoy and understand the presentation of the material. The book's style is written; not as a scientific paper or report; nor solely as an historical description; but as a story; a telling of the experience of finding and excavating of this mysterious ancient city. As a result; it contains neither the dryness of scientific writing nor the boring reporting of a history book; letting the story allow the times; places; people and events to come alive in the reader's mind.The book is the story of Dr. Steven Collins and his search for and excavating of the fabled city of Sodom. The story is written by a master storyteller; Dr. Latayne Scott; who is a gifted writer (with many books to her credit); teacher; and Bible scholar. She is able to paint word pictures that allow the reader to share the experience and fully understand the science and history of archaeology while processing it with a layman's mind.As a lover of the tidbits as well as the sweeping story of history I was not disappointed and as a lover of a good story well told I was enchanted. As a student of Scripture I was fascinated by what I found in my reading. History; a good story and many Biblical events put into place in my mind were found abundantly in this book! I highly recommend this book!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Biblical Archaeology at its bestBy Randy RobertsonI have no doubt that Collins has found Sodom and this book provides ample evidence. It is clearly written for those not expert in archaeology. My only suggestion is that the event be explored just as much as the site of Tall Hammam. The presence of iridium in the soil would cinch the extraterrestrial origin of the event and could be used to delineate how large of an area was actually affected. Lingering questions are raised as to where the safe area of Zoar was located which Lot went to with his daughters. Also if God had told Lot to go to the mountains initially for safety where are those mountains and were they affected in any way i.e did God intend to send Lot to mountains that may have been affected. I am agnostic but when a biblical tale and archaeology intersect in such a definitive manner then the Bible must have recorded this actual event. Collins has done a great service to biblical archaeology and I highly recommend this book..4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. The city of Sodom (Tell El-Hammam) suffered annihilation about 1900 BCE with a 20 inch ash layerBy John NitardyI have been impressed with the scholarly book "Discovering the city of Sodom" by Steven Collins Latayne C. Scott. It gives the data necessary to convince me on of the association between Tall El-Hammam and the ancient city (67 acres) of Sodom. It was the largest city in the Palestine Levant and had been inhabited for about 1000 years. The suggestion of an air-burst meteorite doing the destruction is reminiscent of the recent air-burst meteorite in Siberia early in the 20th century and the more recent February 2014 event. The archeologists describe glass surfaces being created on pottery by greater that 10;000 degrees heat for a second as what happened at the Trinity site in New Mexico during a test of the atom bomb.Altogether; an enjoyable read!
