The Archko Volume Or, the Archeological Writings of the Sanhedrim & Talmuds of the Jews (Paperback)

Claiming to be official documents written in the days of Christ-taken from manuscripts in Constantinople as well as records of the senatorial docket in the Vatican-these controversial writings, first published in 1887, offer a riveting look at the people and events surrounding Jesus' life. Included is the "Acta Pilata," Pilate's report to Caesar detailing the apprehension, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ; an interview with Mary and Joseph; and a report concerning Christ's resurrection. Discredited by some, embraced by others, this much-discussed book remains fascinating reading for historians and bible scholars alike. American clergyman WILLIAM DENNES MAHAN (1824-1906) also wrote Caesar's Court and Hebrew History of Baptism.
