## Resource

In this episode, I'm joined by Ward Sanford to discuss his series on Jerusalem through the writings of first-century historian Josephus. We explore Josephus as an eyewitness to the Jewish War, the destruction of Jerusalem, and what his historical accounts reveal about life in the city during one of the most pivotal moments in biblical history. Together, we examine how Josephus' records help illuminate the cultural, political, and religious climate of Jerusalem, how his testimony intersects with Scripture, and why understanding this historical context strengthens our confidence in the biblical narrative. This conversation offers valuable insight for anyone interested in church history, biblical worldview, and the reliability of Scripture. https://www.cryforjerusalem.com Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop
