Publisher's Synopsis
Bringing together recent archeological discoveries and the best contemporary scholarship, Kenneth Hanson, PhD, tells the fascinating, often-ignored story about the ultimate fate of Jesus's mother, brothers, sisters, and closest followers. The story of the Jerusalem Church led by Jesus's brother James was dropped from the New Testament as the scriptural spotlight followed the ministry of Paul. Now, using the latest discoveries, including some of his own original research, Kenneth Hanson picks up the story where the Bible leaves off, answering a question that many Christians have long asked: Whatever happened to Jesus's family and the original Christian movement based in Jerusalem?
