Abstract

"In a cave on a hillside outside Jerusalem, archaeologist Shimon Gibson made an astounding discovery. As he would soon realize, the carvings on that cave's wall, which had remained unseen for centuries, would offer profound new insights into our understanding of John the Baptist, the early Christian Church, and Jesus Himself."--Publisher description.
