Finally completed my literary trip to the Holy Land. This actually really helped understanding a lot that goes on in the Gospels. Reading this helped me identify locations and see the movement of Jesus through the Holy Land throughout his life and ministry. This book is also provides good insight on some Gospel stories using alternate translations or dissections of languages used at the time of Christ. A little heady but an interesting read.
