Christians and the Holy Places : The Myth of Jewish-Christian Origins
ISBN: 9780198147855 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a detailed examination of the literature and archaeology pertaining to specific sites (in Palestine, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Memre, Nazareth, Capernaum, and elsewhere) and the region in general.

He contends that few places were actually genuine; the most important authentic site being the cave (not Garden) of Gethsemane, where Christ was probably arrested. Extensively illustrated, this lively new look...
