Are You Doing Spiritual Work?
by Wayne Kirkland, co-author of Where's God on Monday?

Review: Jesus and the Remains of His Day
A wonderful review of Jesus and the Remains of His Day
Jesus and the Remains of His Day: Studies in Jesus and the Evidence of Material Cultureby Craig A. Evans is a captivating collection of up-to-date essays on a number of archaeological discoveries related to the earthly ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.
