Book Description
Second Temple Pharisees conducted Clean-Up-the-Galilee campaign against gay and lesbian couples. Key evidence was ignored and suppressed by Christian and Jewish leadership. Luke's evidence demonstrates that Pharisees conducted vice raid and stings against gays and lesbians, unevenly due to legal jurisdictional dispute. "Catch and Release" policy resulted from conflict between Israeli and Roman law. Key evidence of Galilee Episode overlooked.1)Founder of Rabbinic Judaism, Yohanan b. Zakkai, stationed in Galilee between 20 and 40 CE: record sanitized for its incendiary legal precedent. 2)Scholars ignored Pharisees as law enforcement because of a) reaction against their knee-jerk utility as go-to bad guys for orthodox Christianity, b) dangers of further stoking anti-Judaism, and c) alleged lack of evidence of Pharisees in Galilee.3)Persecution sites Chorazin and Bethsaida ignored because of only one mention in Q. 4)Entrapment techniques undetected because of "messianic pretender" theologizing, an element present in Matthew but absent in Luke. 5)The gay and lesbian identities of the targets missed for theological and personal reasons. 6)Legal reasons for "Great Separation" unseen due to bias favoring apocalyptic judgment interpretations. (I.e., "God rescued one but not the other because...")7)Historically, the cause of "One was taken and the other left" in Luke 17:34-35 was a jurisdictional dispute between Pharisee Yohanan b. Zakkai and Philip the Tetrarch, who wouldn't allow his non-Jewish subjects to be prosecuted under the Jewish Torah. 8)The same-sex identity of the couples in Luke 17 denied by Christian theologians because it "contradicted" the Clobber Passages. Pericope Eiusdem Sexus (Luke 17:28-29, 34) created, emphasizing same-sex elements already present in Q source.Luke 17:35's sexual "grinding" was never slang or metaphorical, but a nearly universal idiom, present in Biblical Hebrew, Latin, koine Greek, Chaucer, Shakespeare, ubiquitous historically and today.Bible translators Bruce Metzger (RSV, NRSV) and Mark Strauss (NIV, TNIV) eliminated evidence for the gay and lesbian targets incrementally. Metzger eliminated "men" from one bed by 1951, Strauss eliminated lesbian ambiguity in 1984, and by 2005 all traces of gays and lesbians in English translations of Luke 17:34-35 was gone.

Book Description
Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

Book Description
Danya, a literate, independent-minded young woman, grows up in the village of Nazareth. Personal betrayals, social restrictions, and family tragedies crush Danya's dream of fighting to free her people from Roman domination. Instead she is married off and lives as an outsider in the sophisticated city of Sepphoris, the Roman capital of Galilee. Danya struggles to write her own life, a story woven into the political, religious, and cultural conflicts of the tumultuous world of ancient Palestine early in the first century. Her companions include some real historical and scriptural figures: Joanna, the wife of Herod's chief steward; Judah ben Hezekiah, the leader of a Galilean insurrection; Jesus, before his public life; and his mother Mary, among others. This extensively researched, fast-paced narrative has its roots in the study of the historical Jesus. However, Danya's writings give voice to the silent women of that era. Her search for a meaningful life, though unique to her world, is both universal and contemporary.

Book Description
In 1986, when drought brought the level of the Sea of Galilee unusually low, the two brothers Moshe and Yuval Lufan unearthed the timber frame of an ancient fishing boat. Archaeologist Kurt Raveh was to call the two-thousand-year-old boat of the very type Jesus used to sail the Galilee the most important discovery of the twentieth century. Recovery and preservation of the waterlogged "Jesus boat" was a unique challenge, as no other wooden object had ever survived two millennia in sweet water. Here is the emotional, suspenseful and inspiring story of the boat and those who dedicated fourteen years of their lives to making it available for all the world to see.
