Review

"What an extraordinary book Walking Where Jesus Walked is in every way. For those who know something about this period, here is a way of bringing it all together in one place. For those who know nothing about Jerusalem and the fourth century, the delight of entering this world awaits them....What a great start for this series on "The Church at Worship."
