Publisher's summary

When an ancient skeleton is discovered in Israel, will it shed new light on the life of Jesus or plunge the world into chaos?

Dr. Jonathan Weber, Harvard professor and biblical scholar, is looking forward to his sabbatical year on an archaeological dig in Israel. But a spectacular find that seems to be an archaeologist’s dream-come-true becomes a nightmare that many fear will be the death rattle of Christianity.

Carefully researched and compellingly written, A Skeleton in God’s Closet explores the tension between faith and doubt when science and religion collide. In the end, it’s a thought-provoking thriller, driven by one man’s determination to find the truth—no matter the cost.

Well done, fun adventure

This book was fun to listen to, and the storyline was not only interesting, but lacked the cringy shallowness of some Christian novels and dialogues. I was prepared for it to be fairly corny and it wasn't at all. I look forward to listening to more of Paul Maier's books.
