Historical understanding of the world in which Jesus lived has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few decades. However, lesser known but still spectacular advances in first-century Palestinian archaeology also explain a great deal about Jesus, his followers, and his teachings. Excavating Jesus is the first book to combines these two fields of knowledge, and it does it in a fresh, accessible way that will interest biblical scholars, archeologists, and anyone with an interest in early Christianity.
Written by John Dominic Crossan, the world’s premier Jesus scholar, and leading archeologist Jonathan L.
