The Weekend That Changed the World:Â The Mystery of Jerusalem's Empty Tomb Paperback – January 1, 2000

This is a great book that tells much about the various archeological discoveries in Israel which support the biblical accounts of Jesus’ life and death and resurrection. It includes sites purported to be locations from the biblical accounts which may not be and why. The weekend which is now called Easter weekend has changed the world and this is a very interesting recap of what happened then and the efforts to locate archeological evidence over the past centuries.

After visiting Israel and then reading this book and tracing the steps of Jesus up to crucifixion gave a new meaning to Jesus to me.

This book brings together all the things that happened the weekend that Christ was crucified. It answers many of the questions you may have about the crucifixion, like how it was planned, where He was actually buried. It also explores the impact that this had on the world. A very good read about an event that has brought a major portion of the world's population to believe that this carpenter is the one and only God

The book is on very good condition and good value for the price. The content is great. I already own it as an ebook but the many plates and figures were too difficult to see in that format.

Very interesting chronology of Easter Weekend and the events and places surrounding it.

This book is the bests rational review of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ I've seen. The Resurrection is the divine stamp of approval of everything Jesus said and did and WOW how Peter Walker handles the analysis. Thanks Peter!

Delivered as promised and the story has and continues to change the world.

I visited the Garden Tomb in December, 2008. The experience was spiritually inspiring and intellectually fascinating. The tomb itself has been in the keeping of a British Trust since its discovery in 1867. The tour guides (all UK volunteers) offer some compelling evidence that this could be Joseph of Arimathea's family tomb (immediately adjacent to Golgatha). But they also balance that evidence with other research that questions that possibility. What is not in question is the authenticity of the tomb in the context of its time. As such, it is fascinating to see because even if it is not the actual tomb of Jesus, it is very much like it. I bought this book at the Garden Tomb Bookshop and read it on the plane home. The book is divided into three parts. The first two parts explore the events surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection, and the history of the Garden Tomb itself. The third section delves into the significance of these events and (for me) is a subject better left to one's own belief and perspective. I didn't finish the third section. But the first two sections are certainly worth reading. The photographs and diagrams give you a feel for the place that codifies what the guides shared. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, especially in the wake of visiting this wondrous place.
