A fast-moving exploration of all the major sites featured in the Gospels. Starting with the Annunciation, David Nunn follows through the Gospel drama chronologically, providing fascinating and illuminating insights into the life of Jesus. From Bethlehem, David takes us to Nazareth and its surrounding terrain, which witnessed so much of the Old Testament history of Israel. Then it is on to the wilderness, where John called people to repent, then to the River Jordan. In the lush beauty of Galilee, we visit many of the sites most associated with Jesus: the Mount of Beatitudes, Tabgha, Capernaum, the lakeside and more. We discover why Jesus chose Caesarea Philippi to elicit Peter's momentous profession. We explore the headwaters of the Jordan around Dan before following the path of Jesus south to Jerusalem, passing through Jericho. In the Holy City we trace the passion of Jesus from betrayal, trial and crucifixion to the resurrection and ascension.This program is far more than a travelogue. The visits to the key Gospel sites illuminate the meaning of the world-changing events that took place at these locations.
