Riassunto

A popular book by a world-renowned scholar, weighing up what the latest archaeological evidence can tell us about the historical Jesus and his world. Currently, there is a lot of interest in the historical Jesus, following the success of books such as The Jesus Family Tomb, Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, and, of course, The Da Vinci Code.

Recensione:

'Evans has done a favor for the lay public, college students, seminary students, and likely more than a few scholars in the writing of this book. We expect clarity, accuracy, and detailed knowledge from Evans, and he delivers it. He reports much of what archaeologists have found that relate to the story of Jesus of Nazareth and with as little bias as possible. Furthermore he has interleaved the literary evidence with the archaeological evidence to give a broader scope and understanding of the subject matter to the reader. This book does not smother us in detail, nor is it superficial, but he helps the reader to greater understanding and in a vigorous style.' --James F. Strange, Professor of Religious Studies and Director of Graduate Studies, University of South Florida

'A masterful, erudite and well-written review of the archaeology of the world of Jesus. Highly recommended for scholars and students alike.' --Shimon Gibson, Head of the Archaeology Department
