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.
