With today’s global focus on Israel and the Middle East, Dr. Sanford offers a timely and captivating look at the real first-century history that shaped Christianity, the Roman world, and the fall of Jerusalem.
Drawing from decades of scientific research, deep historical study, and extensive work with the writings of Josephus, Dr. Sanford reveals:

- The surprising real events that led to the Jewish revolt and the destruction of the Temple
- The distinctions between Israel as a land, Judaism as a faith, and the Jewish people as a heritage
- How early Christians, Jews, and Romans interacted in ways that bring the New Testament world to life
- What critics of the New Testament often get wrong and what the historical record actually shows
- How his series intertwines real historical figures, fictional companions, and dramatic events to make history accessible for teens and adults alike
Dr. Sanford also shares how his research strengthened his personal faith and gives a glimpse into his current work exploring the layout of Herod’s Temple and the archaeology behind it.
