	Jesus and His First Followers: What Current Archaeology and Biblical Research Are Telling Us is a 3-DVD set featuring lectures by five eminent Bible scholars and archaeologists. Each lecture will reveal how recent discoveries are changing the way we view the world of Jesus and the earliest Christians. Each lecture has been enhanced for maximum optimization of images and maps. Also included is an 8-page booklet containing lecturer handouts. Featured lectures include: • Discoveries of New Gospels: The Case of the Gospel of Thomas By Bart Ehrman, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Discovered in Egypt in 1945, this Gnostic gospel purports to contain the "secret sayings" of Jesus. • Jewish Burial Practices and the Resurrection of Jesus By Craig A. Evans, Acadia Divinity College A careful description of burial practices common in Jerusalem in Jesus' day provides insight into the gospel account of Jesus' death. • The Quest for the Historical Jesus and the Roman Theater at Sepphoris By Tom McCollough, Centre College Located only 5 miles away from Jesus' hometown, the bustling commercial center of Sepphoris must have been attractive to young boys living in the small town of Nazareth. Did Jesus visit the city, and, if so, what might he have learned there? Did philosophers roam the streets? Were Greek dramas reenacted in the theater? • Was Mary Magdalene Jesus' Wife? By Birger A. Pearson, University of California, Santa Barbara Dan Brown, in The DaVinci Code, says "yes." But Jesus' own teachings suggest otherwise. • First-century Corinth and You Are There By Daniel Schowalter, Carthage College Sail into the port, walk up the ancient road, visit the temples and the theater of the city Paul knew. Running time: 4 hours 16 minutes (256 minutes) ISBN: 1-880317-81-8 Includes: more than 150 images and 8-page booklet of speakers' handouts.
