5.0 out of 5 stars The remarkable tale of the authentication of Christ's tomb, 7 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tomb of Christ (Hardcover)
Martin Biddle's book is scholarly, accessible and beautifully illustrated. The culmination of ten years of painstaking research into the Tomb of Christ which lies in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, the book raises the very real probability that the inner sanctum of the tomb dates from the first century AD. The esteemed professor of medieval history at Oxford University, Biddle combines archive sources, his observations of full size replicas of the tomb scattered throughout Europe, and the latest techniques of photogrammetry, to build a compelling and rich history of Christ's last resting place. At the close of the millenium the Church authorities are desperate to agree on much needed renovations to the tomb but political infighting between the Armenians, Copts, Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox factions has made this difficult. Now Biddle hope that agreement will allow him to open the rock-cut tomb itself for the first time in at least a thousand years. His book is a wonderful read for biblical archaeologists and interested observers everywhere - I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A deceptively comprehensive study - an easy read, 8 May 2000
This review is from: The Tomb of Christ (Hardcover)
Now History and Archeology & Thelogy usually result in hard to understand books which offer little appeal to any casual reader who may have a slight interest in any given subject, but Martin Biddles book seems to break the rules.

Although it offeres a very high level of detail it is written in an easily accessible format which is good news for anybody who does not possess a degree in History, Archeology or Theology.

The book seems to offer strong evidence for the Tombs location and after reading the book you do actually feel that at long last, beurocracy has (in this case) given way, resulting in a decent amount of evidence being 'dug up' and presented. All too often at the end of 'these books' the plot grows cold and the conclusion offers the classical 'If only' Syndrome.

Unlike the words of most dying Pirates which seemed to murmour away after "The Treasure is buried under the...... " Martin Biddle presents a pretty conclusive and satisfying case. I actually felt that I had learned something at the end rather that just having tantalising 'What if's?'

Read this book if you want some credible answers.
