Millions of people across the world have heard of Jesus Christ, but
how many are truly familiar with the key locations he frequented?
Following the chronology of Jesus' life and ministry, and drawing
especially on the Gospel of Luke, Peter Walker takes us from
Bethlehem to Nazareth to the desert as we follow Jesus on his final
journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. In each chapter particular
attention is given to what Jesus did in that location, and to the
authenticity of archaeological and recorded evidence of later
pilgrims and historians. Building on the success of the first
edition, this updated and expanded edition takes into account the
most recent archaeological discoveries. Richly illustrated, and
using maps, timelines, and feature boxes to highlight important
themes, this is a rich and absorbing guide that provides a unique
insight into Jesus' world - an ideal companion for travellers to
the Holy land or for scholars and pastors around the world.
