5.0 out of 5 stars
Investigative Bibilical jounalism at its best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of Golgotha: The Lost History of Jesus' Crucifixion (Paperback)
"Secrets of Golgotha" is an facsinating book that sheds light on the exact location where Jesus was crucified and buried. Dr. Martin goes into exhaustive detail about why neither the Church of the Holy Sepluchre or Gordon's Calvary and the Garden Tomb could possibly have been the scenes of the most significant events in human history. Using scriptural evidence (which has been under the noses of theologians for centuries but ignored), archeological findings and historical documentation about Roman and Jewish execution practices, Dr. Martin convincingly pinpoints the locations of the death and resurrection of Christ as having occured at the Southern summit of the Mount of Olives, not the two different areas that Catholics and Protestants have separately believed and disputed. This book is not an iconoclastic work that tries to refute Christ's divinity or his resurrection like so many other recent books have. Dr. Martin is a believer and his eye-opening work of scholarship puts bibical events in their proper historic perspective while stripping away many of the heritical traditions that have been handed down through the centuries.

Ever wonder if Jesus really was the Messiah?,
This review is from: Secrets of Golgotha: The Lost History of Jesus' Crucifixion (Paperback)
Although the intention of this book is to argue a particular theory of the location of the Crucifixion of Christ, it contains much, much more. This is an essential book for a person wondering about who Jesus was, whether he could really have been the Messiah of the Jews, and whether any other "higher authority" such as the Diety Himself may not have left a witness to Jesus's authority and significance in the historical records of the Jews in the generation after Jesus. Buy this book, read it carefully, and use a highlighter pen to mark key texts for swift recovery later. In terms of content unavailable elsewhere (or at least hard-to-find) this book is worth about four times its price.

The definitive story of the death of Jesus,
By
This review is from: Secrets of Golgotha: The Lost History of Jesus' Crucifixion (Paperback)
I have never been too interested in Holy Land archeology or trying to identify places and times and people involved but this book has completely changed my perspective. After a marathon reading session (I couldn't put it down!) I found myself poring over old and new maps of Jerusalem trying to picture the facts as Dr Martin presents them.His conclusions (and there are more than one!) are startling and fascinating at the same time. He proves in the most scholarly fashion the location of Jesus death and resurrection beyond any shadow of a doubt and draws wide-ranging and even cosmic conclusions and reasons of why this had to be. People of all faiths -- even Jews, Muslims and non-believers -- will find this book fascinating and compelling. He has done extensive research which substantiates every point he makes. This book is well worth every penny and will give you much to think about in connection with this most important event.
