Meet local author Mark Sweberg

Local author Mark Sweberg will be at the Royal Oak Bookshop on September 12th, from Noon to 3 pm, to sign his new book, “Once Holy Mountain.” 

His book is about the location of biblical Mount Sinai. It differs from all previous works about Mount Sinai in that the research and methodology are wholly focused on the Bible text, what the Bible has to say about Mount Sinai, the physical realities that would have impacted on the Israelites that followed Moses, and what archaeology has revealed to date. Those realities influenced: the rate of travel from Egypt to Mount Sinai, route of travel, the distance traveled, the impact of the physical condition of the people and the animals that went with them, and the logistics involved.

Most written works about Mount Sinai do not offer evidence from the biblical text supporting their conclusions and those that often do only cite the Bible in passing. This book holds that the historical accuracy, inerrant, and authority of the Bible are without question. The Exodus happened and the Israelite people were freed from bondage and followed the leadership of Moses to Mount Sinai and beyond.

This book focuses on evidence and physical realities without the introduction of personal agendas or biases. The book pieces together the three-dimensional puzzle recognized as Mount Sinai in the Exodus and identifies where Mount Sinai is located based on the evidence presented throughout.

Mark your calendar for September 12, 2020 to meet the author at his book signing, at Royal Oak Bookshop, 207 S Royal Avenue in Front Royal.
