Abstract

Summary

  • Jack Welch interviews David and Jo Ann Seely about life in Jerusalem 600 years before Christ.
  • Discussion includes the influence of Egyptian culture, the presence of prophets like Jeremiah, and the relevance of the Deuteronomy text to Lehi's time.
  • Recent archaeological discoveries, such as Hezekiah's seal and a proposed Isaiah seal, provide tangible connections to biblical figures contemporaneous with Lehi.
  • The book Glimpses of Lehi's Jerusalem is explored, detailing its contents which cover a wide range of topics from everyday life in Jerusalem to the journey Lehi's family took.
  • The book has held up well over time, with suggestions for a supplemental update rather than revision, reflecting ongoing archaeological discoveries.
