The Jericho Effect: The True Story of a Professor’s Battle With Doubt and His Quest for Faith-building Evidence

The Jericho Effect: The True Story of a Professor’s Battle With Doubt and His Quest for Faith-building Evidence

Thomas B. Tribelhorn, Ph.D., D.Min.

  • 1995


Did the Exodus really happen? Did Joshua really win the battle of Jericho? Were the walls of Jericho already leveled before Joshua and the Israelites arrived? Were the Israelites really Hittites or Canaanites? Did Solomon plagiarize the holy of holies and temple floor plan from the ancient Egyptian Temples of the Nile? Is the Bible fact or fiction? Record numbers of high school and university students are walking away from their faith. Are you or someone you care about one of them? The author, who once found himself in that same disconcerting position, has spent a lifetime of extensive research in Israel, Jordan, and Egypt examining the evidence at archaeological digs and the Temples of the Nile to bring students face-to-face with the real facts. You will be surprised to learn that some of the strongest advocates of the Bible’s historical accuracy are not Christians—but agnostic scholars who allow the archaeological evidence to speak for itself. Tribelhorn contends that God never intended belief to be blind; it can include logical reasoning and historical evidence as part of the faith equation. He makes a compelling defense of the Bible using solid onsite evidence that has the power to change lives and restore trust in God and the Bible. (309pp. illus. index. Masthof Press, 2020.)

Any person who reads�Jericho Effect�will undoubtedly close the last pages of this book with a stronger and more resilient faith than ever before. It�s appalling how the author of this literary historical masterpiece proves the authenticity of the Christian faith with cold hard facts. The author takes the reader on an amazing journey of faith building evidence through the Holy Land of Scriptures. This title is a must read for any person who want to grow their faith from a mustard seed to a strong rooted tree.

Has Clarity and Conviction
The historicity of the Bible continues to be under attack. With clarity and conviction, Dr. Tom addresses these assaults on Scripture with the eye of a scholar and the compassionate heart of a father in full support of the accuracy and truth of the Biblical text. This book is essential for any student of the Bible who has been confronted with the question of whether the Bible can be trusted historically. Using his knowledge of archaeology from the lands of the Bible, Dr. Tom brilliantly presents compelling evidence for the accuracy of Scripture.

Wonderful Volume
In a most compelling and comprehensive—yet readable—way, Dr. Tribelhorn marshals the evidence to answer questions and deal with issues that are frequently used to undercut a sound and reasonable Biblical faith. I have taught Apologetics courses for many years; this book will serve as one of my key texts from this point forward.

Everyone Should Read This Book
Every Christian student should read this book; every pastor should read this book; indeed, every Christian parent should read this book, especially those who have sent their sons and daughters off to college.

Masterfully Written
Picked up the book from the local village post box. Got back this morning to the house and spent the whole day reading it. All I can say is masterfully written and a tour de force. Well done!
