Excavating Jesus: How Recent Archaeology is Revealing Amazing New Insights About Our Faith IN PERSON

The Holy Land is a region of many claims about Jesus. Archaeology is the careful science that affirms the actual evidence that Biblical stories actually took place. The latest discoveries have opened our eyes to deeper insights about life at the time of Our Lord, and can help you understand and treasure the Gospels even more. Father Dave Heney has led 19 archaeological tours of the Holy Land and will share how archaeology is expanding our understanding of Jesus and his world.
