Go to the Holy Land in the comfort of your home

Bargil Pixner has given us a great gift in this work. His attention to detail on Galilee adds a depth that is not found in other works. Most books on the Holy Land read like a dime store tour guide. Bargil Pixner has created a scholarly work that makes the Galilee of Jesus' time come alive for us today.

Topography as the fifth gospel

Nearly 20 years ago I accompanied the author on a trip all around the Sea of Galilee to the sites where much of Jesus' work happened. He was such a powerful teacher and researcher that I was taking careful notes of each demonstration of his findings. Now I find this material available in this book, the very same information, concise and lucid. This is an imperative for good biblical study and interpretation, an invaluable resource for anyone who desires up-to-date details from a practitioner for over 30 years of faithful reading and investigating biblical texts.

A Biblical chronology of Jesus' life and recent archeology

An excellent introduction to modern scholarship connecting the Biblical record with recent archeological findings. Particular attention is paid to the connection of Jesus with the community we know as the Essenes. Very easy to read and would make a good gift for a church library or a person interested in exploring more about the development of the Christian tradition.
