This book, small though it is, contains information that will cause
the reader to consider the importance of this "lost" site to
Biblical Archaeology and History. Dr. Savage gives a wonderful
overview of the importance of the Jewish nature of Bethsaida during
this book first, if you are interest in the history of Bethsaida
and how it fits into the First Century C.E.. In his illuminating,
well-researched book examining the site of Et-Tell, also known as
Bethsaida, Carl E. Savage explores archaeological evidence to offer
readers a portrait of the religious beliefs and practices of the
community living near the north shore of the Sea of Galilee during
the first century CE.
*Israel Book Review*
Carl Savage's Biblical Bethsaida will certainly become one of the
'must read' books for scholars of the New Testament, the Hebrew
Bible, and archaeology. The book's documentation and his
far-reaching conclusions about Galilee in the time of the first
century CE establish a new standard for works on biblical
archaeology.
*Richard A. Freund, director, Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic
Studies, University of Hartford*
Bethsaida is the only site that has yielded sufficient
archaeological remains to shed light on a place pivotal to the
ministry of Jesus. For anyone who is interested in the life of
Jesus this book is absolutely a must.

Nebraska at Omaha*
