Sites of the Early Church from Galilee to Jerusalem: | |
Jesus and Jewish Christianity in the Light of | |
Archaeological Discoveries. Groundbreaking essays by Fr. | |
Bargil Pixner on the importance of the Essene communities | |
in the life of Christ and the early Church, as discovered | |
in careful analysis of archaeological sites. Fr. Pixner | |
died in 2002, and this collection was published by | |
Ignatius Press in 2011. It has been out of print for some | |
time now, and is currently available only in a limited | |
number of college libraries and on used book outlets at | |
outrageous prices. Here is the publisher's description of | |
this book: | |
Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, Jerusalem: The places where | |
Jesus lived and died and gathered his followers into a | |
community are for Christians the most holy sites on | |
earth. With reverence for the sites associated with the | |
life of Christ, Bargil Pixner dedicated much of his life | |
to archeological research in the Holy Land, becoming | |
famous for his discovery of the Essene Gate in Jerusalem | |
and the town of Bethsaida by the Sea of Galilee. | |
Gathered into this one volume are the principal fruits of | |
Father Pixner s research: explanations of numerous | |
archeological discoveries in the Holy Land accompanied by | |
photos, illustrations and maps. Prepared in collaboration | |
with Professor Rainer Riesner, a Scripture scholar from | |
the University of Dortmund, the chapters bring to light | |
not only those details of interest to the man of science | |
but also the connections between these and early | |
Christianity of interest to the man of faith. | |
Having lived in Israel for much of his life the Tyrolean | |
priest, scholar, teacher, and pilgrimage leader brought | |
to his subject the depth and familiarity of a native son. | |
Father Pixner s particular interest in the first Jewish | |
Christians runs like a thread through many of these | |
chapters, helping to link the practices of modern | |
believers with those of their ancient brothers and | |
sisters in the faith. | |
