Excavating Jesus - Beneath the stone, Behind the texts - By John Dominic Crossan & Jonathan L. Reed

Can the stones of ancient Palestine speak to us about the real Jesus and his message? Are there ways to discover the historical Jesus by sifting throught the layers of the Gospels and other early texts? In Excavating Jesus Bible expert John Dominic Crossan and Galilean field archaeologist Johnathan L. Reed take an exhilarating look at Jesus and his world from their two dofferent perspectives. While the phenomenal advances in our Christianity are well known, the equally significant archaeological discoveries are much less familiar. Drawing on evidence from the ten most significant textual discoveries of biblical studies and the ten most significant archaeological digs in the cities and villages of anacient Palestine, Crossan and Reed provide a fuller portrait of Jesus, his teaching, and his followers. Together they bring to life the struggle between Roman power and the people's passionate belief in a just God.
