Dead Sea Conspiracy A Novel by Jerry B. Jenkins with Dr. Craig Evans, Biblical Consultant Book Review

 

Dead Sea Conspiracy is the second novel in the Dead Sea Chronicles. The book is about the first woman to serve as a lead archaeologist, Nicole Berman and her adventure to uncover the hidden treasures. She is digging in Saudi Arabia. Her team consisted of forty members. Not everyone is happy about the digging and the uncovering she is trying to accomplish. Some people might even be trying to sabotage the discover.

 

 

The book also looked at the story of Terah. He was the right-hand man of King Nimrod. The king wanted to kill all of the first-born children where he wouldn’t feel threatened over losing his throne. Terah and his wife, Belessunu had a son, named Abram. They hid Abram in a cave away from the king and his wife stayed close by to protect him. He came up with a plan to substitute his servant’s son as his own child where the king wouldn’t know that he killed the wrong kid. He told their parents their son was killed by wild animals when in fact this was a lie. Terah was also an idol worshipper and he made images of different gods. His wife believed in God and tried to get her husband to believe. He eventually changes and believes in God. He later admits to the servant and his wife what really occurred with their son. His wife was very eager to meet Noah’s son, Shem and learn about the history of the Flood. They do later on in the book meet up with them and they learn about their past generations. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome novel about archaeology and discovering secrets found in Biblical locations. It was really interesting to see how Jerry B. Jenkins was able to connect both of the stories presented in this book together. I especially loved how he explored Terah, the father of Abram. I thought it was a really neat take on a story many people probably aren’t familiar with. I think he did a wonderful job in connecting a mystery into a thriller type book. I have read the first book and I was excited to see how this one will turn it. It does appear that this series is over.
