The Bible’s Exodus account is under attack from many of the world’s leading experts who say there is no evidence for this foundational story – they claim it’s just a myth. Faced with the skepticism, filmmaker Timothy Mahoney experienced a crisis of faith. Mahoney had been investigating the Bible’s Exodus account, and this controversy forced him to refocus on one question – is there any evidence that this foundational story really happened?
The result of the 12-year investigation was the feature-length documentary film, Patterns of Evidence: the Exodus. It reveals a powerful and faith-affirming pattern of evidence matching the major events of the Bible’s Exodus and Conquest accounts in the archaeology of Egypt and Israel. This evidence has been largely unrecognized because it exists in an earlier period of history than where most scholars are looking. Yet the historical information in the Bible itself points to the Exodus happening in a historical period that is centuries earlier than the standard view today.
Mahoney combines a vivid retelling of the biblical story with interviews of top authorities from both sides of the debate in an investigation spanning the ancient and modern worlds. His bold new approach identifies six primary steps of the Exodus account before looking for evidence matching these steps wherever it exists in Egypt‘s history. The results are startling and could fundamentally transform the way the world views history and the Bible.
My thoughts:
Just the history alone is enough to keep you interested in Patterns of Evidence. Tim Mahoney has done a great investigation for us and gives us both sides of the story. You soon begin realize that the history we have written down has many flaws and Tim brings them to light.
Although rather long at times this movie kept me interested to see another side of the story. I believe all the Bible to be true but faced with some of this evidence others may have many doubts.There were some great moments I felt like clapping with joy for his investigations.
Now it's up to us to decide what we believe.
I received this DVD by FlyBy Productions but I was not required to leave a positvie review. All opnions expressed here are my own.
