Description: The ancient boat from the Sea of Galilee now exhibited at the yigal Allon Museum at Kibbutz Ginosar speaks of pivotal times on the lake two millennia ago, when an itinerant rabbi walked its shores and sailed its waters with his followers, and changed the world forever. This volume aims to give the non-expert reader an in-depth understanding of the boat, the story of her discovery and excavation and, most importantly, her significance for illuminating Jesus' ministry by helping us better understand its contemporaneous milieu of seafaring and fishing on the Sea of Galilee. --
