Using his archaeological experience, the author here brings to life the history of Christian archaeology. From the Empress Helena's discovery of the "true cross" to recent findings, this is the story of objects which have changed the way people thought about Christianity. The book is also an account of the personalities and rivalries involved in salvaging the remains of the Christian past.
