Sodom and Gomorrah by John Martin. In the Abrahamic religions, Sodom and Gomorrah (/ ˈ s ɒ d ə m /; / ɡ ə ˈ m ɒr ə /) were two cities destroyed by God for their wickedness. [1] Their story parallels the Genesis flood narrative in its theme of God's anger provoked by man's sin (see Genesis 19:1–28).

Lüdemann acknowledges the historicity of Christ's post-resurrection appearances, [37] the names of the early disciples, [38] women disciples, [39] and Judas Iscariot. [40] Wedderburn says the disciples indisputably believed Christ was truly raised. [41] Conzelmann dismisses an alleged contradiction between Acts 13:31 and Acts 1:3. [42]
