WINNER of the Biblical Archaeology Society’s Award for best popular book published in archaeology. On a cold; cloudy day in early February 1985; Shelley Wachsmann; then resident nautical archaeologist for the Israel Department of Antiquities and Museums; drove to Kibbutz Ginosar; an agricultural settlement near the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Two brothers; avid amateur archaeologists; had found a boat buried in the lake; its outlines revealed by receding lake waters. The boat was "possibly ancient;" according to the handwritten note placed on Wachsmann's desk a day or two before.

Great EditingBy Miss CarolA densely written but still quite relevant book about the problems with nominal Christianity and why it doesn't deserve the name of Christianity. Still quite meaningful in today's church scene.I've added an extra star for the great editorial and annotational work of Kevin Belmonte. This copy of the book is very clean (not many typos or the like) and he has added a wealth of information as well. He defined words not normally used any more; added the full names of people Wilberforce alluded to in the text; added Wilberforce's own annotations; and gave the Scripture references that Wilberforce quoted. He did an amazing job with the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A good way to reflect on your faithBy CustomerThe language can be challenging in particular the long sentences with complicated wording.In particular if English is not your mother tongue but still worthwhile if you want to put your day to day faith in front of the mirror.May be there is someone one there to translate this into modern day English without losing the essence on what William was trying to convey to his peers.
