Christians and the Holy Places - The Myth of Jewish-Christian Origins

Zusatztext Taylor examines the evidence and the interpretations offered site by site, with relentless rigour. Her conclusion...seems firmly established, and, to the present reviewer, incontrovertible...Her book is a model of historical enquiry , careful, thorough and judiciously critical, into problems where archaeological material has a crucial part to play in interpreting scraps of literary, often legendary, information. Zusammenfassung This examination of the archaeology and literature relating to Christian holy places finds no evidence that Christians made pilgrimages before the fourth century. The author suggests that the origin of holy places and the phenomenon of Christian pilgrimage rests with the emperor Constantine.
