Discoveries from the Time of Jesus

This book picks up the story where "Treasures from Bible Times" concluded, covering the New Testament period in detail. Articles and features deal with: key people - Herod, Pilate, Jesus; Jerusalem at the time of Jesus (with up-to-the-minute discoveries); a first-century synagogue in Israel, just excavated; books and manuscripts; and Roman power. Illustrated with a wealth of archaeological information, this book, like its predecessor, is designed to satisfy our universal curiosity about the past. Recent discoveries shed new light on the Bible, authenticating its historical accuracy. Alan Millard has contributed to "The New Bible Dictionary", "The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia" and "The Lion Handbook to the Bible".
