Follow up to my review of The Real Story of The Exodus

As a book reviewer, I’m always glad to have the opportunity to interact with authors and publishers. Scot Kinnaman, Senior Editor with Concordia Publishing House was kind enough to stop by Bible Geek Gone Wild and offered this comment related my review of Dr. Maier’s The Real Story of the Exodus:

Mr. Tabatt.
Thank you for your thoughtful review of The Real Story of the Exodus. I would like to make one correction. The identification of the Red Sea on the map is correct. I would refer you to your Bible Atlas to see that the Red Sea (now often referred to as the Gulf of Suez) is on the western shore of the Sinai peninsula between Sinai and Egypt. The Dead Sea (also known as the Salt Sea) is located farther north and east between the Biblical lands of Judah and Moab in Palestine. Thank you for the opportunity to make this correction.

My apologies to Scot for not posting a picture of the error in my original review. I have since scanned the 2nd to last page from the epilogue and have placed a red circle over each of the areas on the map labeled as the Red Sea. As Scot indicated in his comment, the Red Sea is known today as the Gulf of Suez, which is in the lower left-hand portion of the map between Egypt and Sinai. If you look to the north and east in the upper right-hand portion of the map, you will see that the Dead Sea or Salt Sea is mislabeled as the Red Sea. I did receive a very early review copy of this book, so it is possible that this was corrected in a later printing.
