Locating the place of Christ's crucifixion is one of the most important factors in comprehending Christian doctrine. If one does not know where Christ met his death, whole sections of New Testa- ment teaching become unintelligible.
This book brings into focus totally new historical data (hidden from public view for over 1600 years) which can identify the very spot where Christ was crucified and where he was placed in the tomb. This information brings a new (even revolutionary) concept of what the crucifixion means for Christianity. Scriptural references from all parts of the Old and New Testaments take on a new and revealing significance.
Remarkably, the historical keys that identify the true site of the crucifixion are found within the New Testament itself. Once these essential clues are brought into play, the records from secular history can be used to disclose the fullness of the story.
The two traditional areas normally assumed to possess the best creden- tials for the site of the crucifixion (the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Garden Tomb) are shown to be far afield from where Christ's crucifixion actually occurred. There are many factors, most of them unrealized before, that disqualify either site from being proper.
The actual site of the crucifixion will be a surprise to most people. It is in an area that many people have not seriously considered as possible. This book will show "The Place of Christ's Crucifixion.
