Title: Intriguing, Interesting and Exciting
Product review: I purchased this book from a sale rack and let it lie in my office almost a year before reading it on a flight. What a mistake! The book was so intriguing and interesting, I couldn't put it down. To make it even better, I discovered that I was sitting beside a friend of one of the authors on the plane. As a senior archaeologist myself who sometimes does forensic work, I appreciated the efforts of the authors to incorporate scientific methods into the story. It is too bad that archaeologists in Israel are required to immediately relinquish discovered bones to stone-throwing fundamentalist kooks. These could provide the most telling evidence of the physical appearance, health, disease and relationships between those in the tomb. While I am not a biblical scholar, the book has made me want to dig deeper into the documents that shaped the opinions of the authors.
