Holy Marvels with Dennis Quaid sets out to examine accounts of divine retribution in Monday’s episode, airing at 10:03 PM ET on History. Wrath of Gods (Season 2, Episode 8) explores plagues, curses, and the supposed “wrath of the gods”—ancient disasters recorded across millennia and often attributed to divine intervention.

Guided by host Dennis Quaid, the series unpacks the stories behind artifacts and events steeped in religious significance. This episode probes ancient texts that describe divine punishments—the destruction of cities, widespread disease, and unexplained disasters—and asks whether they hold up against historical scrutiny. Were these calamities mere myth, or is there factual documentation that suggests a real-world basis for such ancient and often fantastical narratives?
