The Location of Sodom

Has Sodom been discovered? The Bible describes the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19 in terms of fire and brimstone falling from heaven. But what actually happened to these cities? Where are they today? Did they survive the cataclysmic destruction? Two archaeological sites have recently been identified as Sodom, but which is the best candidate for the location of Sodom: Tall el-Hammm, at the northern end of the Dead Sea in the Jordan Valley, or Bb edh-Dhr, at the southern end of the Dead Sea in the Ghor? Trying to navigate the maze of arguments can be a daunting task.Graves provides a useful tool for reader in their quest for the location of this illusive biblical city. This work provides sixty-two helpful facts grouped together in methodological, hermeneutical, geographical, chronological, archaeological, cataclysmal, and geological chapters, which set the stage for further research and consideration.
