Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Joseph of Arimathea brings together modern research, ancient
legends, and unique storytelling to trace the journey of Joseph of
Arimathea from England to Palestine as he performs an annual
pilgrimage there. During this particular trip to Palestine,
Joseph's world is turned upside down by the political crucifixion
of Jesus at the hands of his enemies. Joseph, with his friend
Nicodemus, buries Jesus's body according to Jewish ritual. For
this, Joseph is himself arrested, but he is delivered from
imprisonment by the risen Jesus. As an ardent believer in and
follower of God's chosen one, Joseph plays a vital role in
establishing the early church and its subsequent missionary
movement. After fourteen years in Palestine, Joseph returns to
England as a missionary. He is sent there as the first bishop to
England and Wales, where he later builds a church at Glastonbury.
Joseph carries to England the silver chalice and silver plate used
during the Last Supper, along with a staff fashioned from the crown
of thorns placed on Jesus's head. Including a detailed appendix
includes some of the surviving descendant lines of the two children
of Joseph of Arimathea and his wife, Anna, Joseph's story provides
a fascinating account of some of the most precious historic
Christian artifacts.
