Craig A. Evans is Payzant Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Acadia Divinity College, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is the author or editor of over thirty books, including The Routledge Encyclopedia of the Historical Jesus (2008), Fabricating Jesus (2008), and (with Tom Wright) Jesus, The Final Days (2008).
"A masterful, erudite, and well-written review of the archaeology
of the world of Jesus. Highly recommended for scholars and students
alike." Shimon Gibson, Head of the Archaeology Department,
University of the Holy Land, Jerusalem
"Evans has done a favor for the lay public, college students,
seminary students, and likely more than a few scholars in the
writing of this book. We expect clarity, accuracy, and detailed
knowledge from Evans, and he delivers it. He reports much of what
archaeologists have found that relate to the story of Jesus of
Nazareth and with as little bias as possible. Furthermore he has
interleaved the literary evidence with the archaeological evidence
to give a broader scope and understanding of the subject matter to
the reader. This book does not smother us in detail, nor is it
superficial, but he helps the reader to greater understanding and
in a vigorous style." James F. Strange, Professor of Religious
Studies and Director of Graduate Studies, University of South
Florida
