Synopsis: Art West has done it again. This time, he finds himself
in hot water in Corinth, while excavating at a Roman villa with his
fiancee, Marissa Okur, as they chart a sometimes bumpy course
towards marriage. Art runs into a modern-day prophetess, survives
an earthquake, and has to overcome annoying Greek authorities who
stand in his way of making more discoveries of relevance to the
study of the New Testament. Meanwhile his friend Kahlil el Said and
his daughter who live in Jerusalem make a terrible discovery about
her former husband the terrorist, with potentially dangerous and
devastating consequences. The worlds of archaeology and the Bible
converge once more with both heat and light shed on the origins of
Christianity in this fourth installment in the series of seven Art
West adventures. Endorsements: "High adventure, solid history,
beautiful photographs, religious sensitivity, and bad puns: what's
not to like?" -A. J. Levine Vanderbilt Divinity School "The Art
West adventures are fun, entertaining, and instructive of the world
of the New Testament placed in the context of a contemporary story.
The fourth in the series, Corinthian Leather, is no exception.
Read, enjoy, learn. It is a great way to get a sense of what
first-century life was like." -Darrell L. Bock Dallas Theological
Seminary "New Testament scholars who have the ability to craft
engaging novels are rarer than chicken molars. Yet renowned scholar
Ben Witherington and his wife Ann have successfully married
historical scholarship with gripping narrative in Corinthian
Leather. The book combines superb character development and
stimulating adventure with photo-rich historical and archaeological
insights into the ancient cities of Paul's day. It's both a
fascinating and educational read." -Frank Viola author of From
Eternity to Here, Revise Us Again, and Jesus Manifesto "Ben and Ann
Witherington sure know how to spin a story If you take pleasure in
being educated and entertained simultaneously, then make time to
read Corinthian Leather (and the three previous volumes in the Art
West adventure series). I am already looking forward to reading and
learning from the rest of these page-turning, biblical
archaeological thrillers." -Todd D. Still George W. Truett
Theological Seminary "What do you have when you encounter an
archaeological mystery, a Greek prophetess, the Greek Communist
Party, a professional basketball prospect, and a romance? You're
kidding. You really don't know? Another Arthur West adventure, of
course. Our intrepid adventurer is at it again, this time exploring
the archaeological remains of ancient Corinth, a city rebuilt by
Julius Caesar and evangelized by the apostle Paul. Readers will
enjoy this imaginative archaeological adventure-Art West's
fourth-that sheds light on the Corinth of Paul's visit in AD 51 and
the key locals with whom he became acquainted. History and
archaeology have never been more fun. Corinthian Leather is another
delightful book from Ben and Ann Witherington." -Craig A. Evans
