Mark Appold, professor of philosophy and religion, appeared in the Nov. 19 archaeology series on the International History Channel in an interview with Israeli filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici. Filmed on site at biblical Bethsaida in the Golan, the interview focused on Bethsaida as the cradle of early Christianity. The exchange was triggered by Appold’s journal article about the significance of a first century cross, which was incised on a large shard of an ancient wine jar discovered at Bethsaida.
