Digging Up Jesus (Episode 13)

Digging Up Jesus (Episode 13) Let’s have a look at some things you might not know about how archaeology weighs in on the historical Jesus. From the little town of Bethlehem, to Nazareth in the Galilee, to Capernaum, on the shore of Lake Kinneret, the tools of archaeology have illuminated the life of the historical Jesus as never before. Then there's the matter of his last days in the city of Jerusalem, his trial before the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate, and the cave in which he was entombed. The stones we uncover don't tell lies, and we have to come to grips with whatever conclusions they lead us to. That's the challenge, and the beauty of it all… Dr. Kenneth Hanson, http://drkenhanson.com/
