Sodom and Gomorrah

What really happened to the damned cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Tristan Hughes and Dr. Dylan Johnson delve into the infamous biblical story to discover the context and supposed locations of these cities near the Dead Sea, and explore whether there is any historical basis to their destruction.

They discuss the theological implications and examines archaeological surveys that sought to uncover the truth behind this fascinating ancient narrative.
