Meh...I just reread this this past week and wasn't super impressed. I liked the archaeological storyline just fine--and all the Israel stuff was a yay---but the writing was HORRENDOUS. This author creeps me right out---seems like a really sleazy weirdo. Every time a woman is mentioned, her form and sexual vibe has to be described in detail---yet he never mentions much about the men having this affect on the women. The conversations between characters are straight out of a superhero comic...or are otherwise laced with creepy joking that no decent men would ever use with one another. Still, I'll probably keep the book as I do enjoy archaeology stories...but it's definitely cringe-worthy. ( )

Paul L Maier, the author of several books about Easter, the Nativity and Martin Luther, has written a novel, A Skeleton in God's Closet, about excavating a cave in Israel in which a skeleton in found that seems to fit the description of Jesus Christ. This rocks the Christian world. This book is filled with lots of twists and turns until it comes to the final page of the book. It is found in the fiction section of the library under the number F/MAI.

rabck from HI77; the author is a historian, and unfortunatly writes like one. A bit dry, but the methods described of what is involved with an archeaological dig were good. Essentially, the story boils down to discovery of some bones at a dig site, and some theoritically ancient information that's been "planted" ( )

Unreadable ( )

One of my favorite reads right before Easter. ( )
