Archaelogy and the World of Jesus

If you ever wished to travel to the Holy Land, ‘Archaelogy and the World of Jesus’, with its glossy pages and images, gives readers a complete, immersive experience. The historical sites listed in the book have clear connection to the life and ministry of Jesus. The book begins with the historical conquest of Syria and Palestine by Alexander the Great and continues to outline important events to give a larger picture of historical significance around the time of Jesus’ earthly life. 

It would appeal academically for those interested in deep study of the gospels with corroborative archaeological evidence, and to casual readers to gain rich insights into these places of historical significance. You don’t have to remember all the places and dates but even flipping through pictures and places will impact how you read the New Testament again, as you can visualise the time, place and context.
