Astonishing Discoveries Seminar Explores Bible Through Archaeology

Seminar paves the way for “Hope for Humanity” evangelistic series

A special seminar series on biblical archaeology was held at Goucher College from Sept. 26-28 as part of Reach Baltimore 2025, a joint evangelistic initiative to bring the three angels’ message to Baltimore via the Chesapeake and Allegheny East conferences, It Is Written, and North American Division.

 “Astonishing Discoveries and Prophecies in the Land of the Bible” was presented by Michael Hasel, professor of Near Eastern studies and archaeology at Southern Adventist University. Over three nights, Hasel guided attendees through recent archaeological discoveries from ancient Egypt, Israel, and Babylon that point to the trustworthiness of Scripture.

Guests from the Baltimore community learned about the event through social media promotions and direct mailings. Attendees were also invited to return to Goucher College beginning Oct. 3 for the “Hope for Humanity” evangelistic series with John Bradshaw, president of It Is Written, and G. Alexander Bryant, president of the North American Division.
