First-Century Confirmation
The world of the New Testament is one of the most archaeologically attested periods in history. From the Pool of Siloam to the synagogue at Capernaum, from the Pilate Stone to the James Ossuary, 1st century Palestine has yielded artifact after artifact that corroborates the social, religious, and political context of the Gospel accounts.
Artifacts That Speak
Kurt examines coins, inscriptions, ossuaries, synagogue architecture, and the remains of crucifixion to paint a vivid and historically grounded portrait of the world in which Jesus lived, taught, died, and — according to the testimony of His followers — rose again.
“Every artifact from the 1st century is a witness. The question is whether we are willing to hear what they say.”
