Patterns of Evidence- Exodus: DVD Giveaway!

By: Melissa Baker

I have recently had the privilege to view Patterns of Evidence- Exodus. The filmmaker traveled around Egypt and the middle east, looking and searching for hard, physical evidence that what the Bible says, is in fact true. I found it interesting how they showed many places that they went to gather evidence.  It was really neat to see all the places that were mentioned in the Bible. There are a lot of pictures and video of the Holy Land, which really kept my attention.  In his first trip to Egypt, he could not find any evidence of The Exodus. He then went back a second time and spoke with different people who are also researching the same thing, some of which say there is evidence and some who say there isn't. He realized he needed a new approach to finding the evidence he was searching for. He spoke with Bible Scholars, experts, archaeologists, and many other people. This was a wonderful look into the facts and history of the Bible. This documentary is well done, very informative, and gives great detail as to their findings. A bonus feature DVD is also included that has features such as meeting the cast, behind the music, and more. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who would like to learn more about the story of Exodus, or even to someone who doesn't necessarily believe that what the Bible says is true. 


About the author/filmmaker/producer:
Tim Mahoney founded Mahoney Media Group, Inc. (MMG) in 1989. MMG focused its business on television and video production for regional and national companies. In 2014 Tim founded Thinking Man Films & Media as an international documentary & publishing company with a focus on education and the Bible. Tim produced numerous productions for Christian organizations including the Billy Graham Association, World Wide Pictures, and Compassion International. Tim also served as the President of the board for the International Christian Visual Media Association (ICVM). Tim’s first full feature documentary film, “PATTERNS OF EVIDENCE: THE EXODUS”, released in January 2015. The film took 12 years to develop and takes a scientific approach to investigate the events of the biblical Exodus. The overall vision for his film company is to explore “patterns of evidence” that support the biblical narrative and engages the world in a conversation. The film takes a balanced approach and leaves the audience to decide for themselves if the Bible is real history or myth.
About the film:
·         Won 13 awards on the film festival circuit in 2014, including a Gold Remi Award winner for Best Director at the Worldfest Houston Intl. Film Festival, the Gold Crown Award for Best Picture and Best Documentary at ICVM 2014, and Official Selection at the Soho International Film Festival in New York.
·         Supplemental resources associated with the film include a nearly 400-page hardcover book, small group Bible study, Movie Event kit, youth version (called Young Explorers), homeschool curriculum and others.
·         It includes powerful interviews with some of the top experts in the fields of archaeology and Egyptology as well as people of influence in the Middle East.
·         The film has an objective, fair-minded and balanced approach. It allows viewpoints from all sides to be heard in a respectful way while asking honest questions of the Bible and scholars’ views. It does not preach and lets the evidence speak for itself. This allows the film to be very shareable with those of different viewpoints.
