From well-known questions like 'What Happened to the Ark of the Covenant?' and 'Where was Jesus Born?' to less often asked such as 'Did Jesus visit the theatre?' amd 'Just how tall was Zacchaeus?'
Light-hearted but thoroughly researched, fun and informative, entertaining and enlightening, this combines good humour and good scholarship to create a book of biblical history that is like no other.
Along the way Nick Page touches on subjects from Mesopotamian love potions to the difficulties of travelling by ship and from Jesus' family tree to the Philistine version of the SAS.
So, if you've ever wondered 'Exactly how much could Samson lift?' or 'Why did the Israelites hate the Philistines?' or 'Who danced for Herod?' then this is the book for you.
