Prophetic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Return To Sodom & Gomorr (Paperback)
This book was first written during the height of optimism over the peace finally being achieved between Israel and the Palistinians. Pellegrino, relying on archaeology, a keen sense of human nature, and intuition, predicted that the killing would never stop, and that people in that part of the world would reserve their right to hate each other forever. The final chapter, with Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen Jay Gould, Pellegrino and Hawking, and several theologians, "gathering around the same watering hole, the archaeology of the Bible" and seeking signposts for the future in "the dustbin of history," is the most chilling echo from the past I have ever read. Look no further than the pictures - Pellegrino's painting on page 209 showing the WTC Twin Towers collapsing like a child's sand castle struck by a wave. If one looks, those towers seem to be destroyed repeatedly in all of his books. "Flying to Valhalla" (1992, page 97: "Seen from the air, the only recognizable features... near the air-scoured shambles of the World Trade Center Twin Towers: a shiny gridwork of smashed glass, two meters deep, marking places where streets once ran." Scientists are now preparing to clone an extinct Woolly Mammoth. Pellegrino saw that, too, more than twenty years ago when he invented the theory that became "Jurassic Park." Move over Nostradamus.

It will keep you searching!,
By Daniel J. Reed (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Return To Sodom & Gomorr (Paperback)
If you are interested in finding the truth and exploring your deepest passions about what drives your faith, then read this book with an open mind. Man's interpretations, through oral tradition and the written word, have always been the subject of contention and controversy. Mr. Pellegrino, at least, attempts to study natural phenomenon and faith with respect; a discipline which is not incompatible. Pellegrino searches for a deeper understanding of what actually took place. He has enriched my search for the truth. I have taken steps to further my own research with the study of myth, archeology and natural phenomenon. My faith has increased exponentially, both in man's reasoning and self-preservation, and in my perinial search for The Creator. Open your mind to the possibilities.
