I find Stone to be the most compelling of all. His knowledge of ancient Israel and her traditions, tied with Biblical illustrations, is eye openning.
He recently has done a series on ancient Hebrew weddings and the Bible accounts of the Bride of Christ. Amazing.
Another FReeper turned me on to Joel Rosenberg. Definetly look into his stuff. He has a few novels out, I just finished The Ezekial Option. My first read of his novels. But Epicenter is his book describing Ezekial 38-39 and the coming war of Gog and Magog, on which his novels are derived. Very Good.
I find this guy to be very compelling. His name is Doug Batchlor and if you listen to him for a while, you will see why. Very logical and common sense approach to the Bible. He has a TV show called Amazing Facts and the website above also.
Just curious, but how do you know whether Stone is telling the truth or feeding you a bunch of bunk on the traditions of ancient Israel?
