The Bible commands its readers to tell their children the story of the Exodus; but biblical
scholarship and archaeology of the 20th and 21st centuries have increasingly cast doubt on
the fact that the Exodus actually happened historically. This lecture reviews the biblical
story in light of the archaeological evidence – or lack thereof – reflecting on how to answer
the question of whether these foundational events of Israel actually occurred.
