Hall to talk about Ark, Dead Sea Scrolls

0 comments

Everyone is invited to attend a free presentation at the Aztec this Sunday given by an explorer who has been on an archeological expedition to Mount Ararat trying to find Noah’s Ark, and who was a member of the 2017 team that found a cave known to have contained some of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the first such discovery since 1956. 

Bruce Hall’s 2013 climb and search for Noah’s ark was documented in the 2015 released film Finding Noah, an Adventure of Faith.

Paul Johnston met Hall recently, and the chance encounter led to this Sunday’s presentation.

“It’s not every day that you get a chance to hear from someone who has been on a dig to try and find Noah’s ark,” said Johnston. “This should be a treat for Albany! Bruce doesn’t do this for everyone.”

The free presentation is set for 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28, at the Aztec Theater in downtown Albany.

“We are sure hoping that the kids will come, and all the churches,” said Johnston. “I think everyone will really enjoy it.”

Hall has said that he discovered his love of archeology while he was working as an architect. He has earned a Master’s of Divinity in Theology and was working on his PhD in Biblical Archaelogy when he joined the Noah’s ark expedition. He is also a pastor.
