Plagues Science Explains by Sage Greenwood

"Plagues Science Explains" explores the ten plagues of Exodus through the lens of science, offering a fresh perspective on this iconic biblical narrative. Could natural phenomena, rather than solely divine intervention, account for these events? The book investigates geological, climatological, and epidemiological factors in ancient Egypt to find answers.

For instance, it examines how volcanic eruptions or climate shifts might have triggered ecological imbalances, leading to disease outbreaks and other calamities resembling the plagues. The book unfolds systematically, beginning with an introduction to key concepts and relevant scientific disciplines. It then dedicates individual chapters to each plague or groups of related plagues, comparing them to known environmental events and providing alternative explanations supported by scientific data.

By integrating biblical studies with environmental science, this approach enhances our understanding of the historical context and offers insights into interpreting similar events throughout history. The final section synthesizes these findings, discussing their broader implications for biblical studies and contemporary environmental concerns, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the intersection of faith and reason.
