Excavating Jesus: Beneath the Stones, Behind the Texts

Excavating Jesus: Beneath the Stones, Behind the Texts: Revised and Updated Wydawca: HarperOne Opis produktu Excavating Jesus: Beneath the Stones, Behind the Texts: Revised and Updated by John Dominic Crossan hooks readers with a bold promise: archaeology and texts together can reshape how we see the historical Jesus. This revised and updated English book bridges Biblical Studies , New Testament scholarship, and biblical archaeology to illuminate Jesus’s life and teaching in first-century Palestine. Crossan teams with archaeology to examine major discoveries—inscriptions, household remains, and landscape evidence—and places them beside New Testament texts to show how material culture clarifies the Gospels without resorting to sensational claims. Each chapter focuses on a specific archaeological or textual breakthrough and explains what it reveals about Jesus, his followers, and the social and religious world that shaped his message. The narrative is scholarly yet accessible, blending historical Jesus research, New Testament studies, and first-century Palestine archaeology into a readable guide for both specialists and curious lay readers. Who should read this book? Students and professors of New Testament and Biblical Studies, readers of Biblical Archaeology Review and National Geographic, clergy, and anyone searching for a well-documented historical Jesus book or an introduction to biblical archaeology will find this indispensable. Why buy it? The revised edition updates key findings, offers clear connections between artifacts and scripture, and equips readers with long-tail insights—such as “first-century Palestine archaeology for understanding Jesus” and “historical Jesus and material culture”—to deepen faith, spark classroom discussion, or inform further study. Pick up this book to see Jesus beneath the stones and behind the texts.
