The Geography of the Cities of the Plain
$2.50The Geography of the Cities of the Plain
by Steven Collins PhD
Tradition seems to provide the only support for a southern Dead Sea location for the Genesis Cities of the Plain. The biblical text clearly supports their location north of the Dead Sea, on the east side of the Jordan River, in a circular, alluvial area known in the Old Testament, particularly in Genesis, as the Kikkar. This paper provides a detailed textual analysis of this geography.

The Heart’s Door
$9.95The Heart’s Door
by Latayne C. Scott PhD
This book is a study guide for understanding the biblical view of hospitality. This is not hospitality as the world views it, which is dinner parties and “hostess with the mostest.” The biblical view focuses on joyfully and lovingly opening up your home to guests who don’t care if you’re wearing blue jeans and serving sandwiches.

The Home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites: Is Yahweh’s Promise a Significant Historical Synchronism?
$2.50The Home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites: Is Yahweh’s Promise a Significant Historical Synchronism?
by Steven Collins PhD
It was an Egyptian-less land with a significant Hittite presence that Yahweh promised to deliver into Israelite hands, and this scenario fits uniquely into a rather narrow time-slot during the 14th century BCE.

The Length of the Israelite Sojourn in Egypt
$2.50The Length of the Israelite Sojourn in Egypt
by Steven Collins PhD
If one adopts the short sojourn scenario (Jacob to Moses is approximately 215 years), then numerous conclusions about biblical chronology and its correspondence with ancient Near Eastern history and archaeology, which are based on a 430-year Israelite sojourn in Egypt, must be abandoned.

The Logic of True Narrative Representations
$2.50The Logic of True Narrative Representations
by John W. Oller, Jr. and Steven Collins PhD
This paper proves that TNRs are the only representations that are (1) relatively determinate with respect to their embodied meanings, (2) well-connected to the matter-space-time continuum, and (3) fully generalizable to all possible contexts (real or imagined) with respect to their relatively well-determined content. It follows that if the Bible is a TNR, then the genuine facts of history cannot contradict it, nor it them. If TNR-theory is correct, it is possible, as a result, to set subjects such as hermeneutics and biblical archaeology on a strictly logical footing.

The Middle Bronze Age Civilization-Ending Destruction of the Middle Ghor
$59.95The Middle Bronze Age Civilization-Ending Destruction of the Middle Ghor
Doctoral Dissertation by Phillip J. Silvia PhD
This volume is a reformatted printing of the Ph.D. dissertation of Phillip James Silvia for Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is a scientific study of the occupation history of the Middle Ghor, the nearly circular plain that lies just north of the Dead Sea in the Great Rift Valley. This study documents the existence of a major urban center (Tall el-Hammam) from the Chalcolithic Period through Middle Bronze Age (roughly 4600 to 1650 BCE) and significant human presence distributed across multiple nearby sites that came to a sudden and violent end, leaving the area unoccupied for 600-700 years. Evidence is presented to support the author’s hypotheses that the source of destruction was a meteoritic airburst event, and that the cause of the extended occupational hiatus was depletion of the topsoil and poisoning of the remaining subsoil with Dead Sea salts by the airburst. Although it was not the author’s purpose in presenting this data to defend the Biblical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plain, the evidence, analyses and conclusions presented in this volume clearly support the claim of Dr. Steven Collins that Tall el-Hammam is Sodom.
