Is it possible that Joshua's altar (Joshua 8:30-35) is still on Mount Ebal in Israel? In the 1980s, Israeli
archaeologist Adam Zertal discovered and excavated a stone altar that he
identified as Joshua's altar. However, many have discounted his assessment, and
one of their main arguments is the altar's location. Does the Bible contradict
Zertal's interpretation?

The
Bible relates that shortly after entering the Promised Land, Joshua built an
altar upon Mount Ebal overlooking the ancient city of Shechem. Excavations in
the early 1980s, led by the late Prof. Adam Zertal, discovered a prominent
early altar site on Mount Ebal. One man who helped identify the site as an
altar was Zvi Koenisgberg. On today’s program, host Brent Nagtegaal speaks with
Mr. Koenigsberg about the 30-year saga to acknowledge the Mount Ebal altar and,
more generally, about scholarship in the world of biblical archaeology.
