Product Description

Archaeology is revolutionizing the way we picture the life and times of Jesus. In the past century—and especially in the past three decades—excavators in the Holy Land have uncovered startling evidence of Jesus, the Jewish world he lived and taught in and the men and women who first walked beside him.

In this new film from the Biblical Archaeology Society, Hershel Shanks visits Nazareth, Galilee, Capernaum, Bethsaida, Qumran, Sepphoris, and Jerusalem to view sites where Jesus walked. Along the way, Shanks meets with the world’s most prominent archaeologists and biblical scholars to discuss the archaeological discoveries that link these sites to Jesus. Their lively, in-depth conversations offer a clear picture of how current archaeology is illuminating the New Testament.

Featured biblical scholars and archaeologists include Richard Freund, Rami Arav, Jerome Murphy-O’Connor, Stephen Pfann, James Strange, Vassilios Tzaferis, James Fleming, Ronny Reich, Hillel Geva, Hanan Eshel, Ya’acov Meshorer, Bargil Pixner, Gideon Avni, Gabriel Barkay, Dan Bahat, Joseph Fitzmyer, and Orna Cohen.

The fascinating finds include a first-century boat like the one the apostles used, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the theater at Sepphoris, the fishing village of Bethsaida, the Capernaum synagogue where Jesus preached, the remains of an individual crucified in the first century, and much more.

For anyone interested in learning how archaeology has enhanced the study of the life and times of Jesus, this DVD is a must have! Hear from the excavators who are bringing the Gospels to life with startling discoveries. See the compelling evidence. Walk where Jesus walked!

DVD, 90 minutes.

Testimonial

“A highly professional and utterly delightful use of modern media techniques to present in an hour and a half the best and latest thinking of current archaeology on first-century Palestine, especially the time of Jesus. The videography is stunning and the editing professional. Shanks’ questions are those the lay person would or should ask and the answers offered are clear, concise and to the point. The scholars who provide those answers, Christian and Jewish, American and Israeli, are the best in the field today. This DVD belongs in every college, church and synagogue library in the world.”
