"Where Christianity Was Born pulls together outstanding essays by leading archaeologists and Biblical interpreters who shed new and important light on the world of Jesus and his earliest followers. I recommend it enthusiastically!"

The Bible tells us stories about Jesus and his life, but this book gives us archaeological facts.
A compilation of articles previously published in Biblical Archaeology Review, this book
examines what the world was like where Jesus lived. With over 200 images, it follows
