Excavating Jesus - Beneath the Stones, Behind the Texts

It delves into the historical and archaeological investigation of Jesus’ life and the early Christian movement. Crossan combines textual analysis with archaeological evidence to reconstruct the historical context of Jesus and the social dynamics of first-century Palestine. The book challenges traditional interpretations by exploring the historical Jesus beyond the religious texts, focusing on how material culture and historical data inform our understanding of his life and teachings. Crossan’s approach seeks to uncover the historical realities behind the gospel narratives and offers insights into the socio-political environment of Jesus’ time. Through this interdisciplinary study, the book provides a nuanced view of Jesus and the origins of Christianity.
