    About this audiobook

    Multiple Gold Medallion winner Bob Hostetler whisks listeners away to ancient and modern Israel for an Indiana Jones-like adventure. When an agnostic archaeologist unearths the ossuary of a first-century high priest, he discovers compelling evidence of Christ's resurrection. But this incredible find soon pits him against Jewish factions, jealous rivals, frenzied media- and his own beliefs. "First class writing . fast paced . realistic 'what if.'"-In the Library Reviews

      An agnostic archeologist, is asked to begin an emergency excavation of a burial site in Taipoit, just outside of Jerusalem where he discovers the remains of Caiaphas, the High Priest that presided over the trial and subsequent delivery of Jesus Christ to the Romans to be crucified.In Bob Hostetler’s “The Bone Box“, archeologist Randall Bullock lives a mediocre life participating in digs far from his family. The recent loss of his wife and the strained relationship with his only daughter intensifies his loneliness driving him to drink , despair and loss of interest in his chosen occupation.An old friend offers him an opportunity to investigate a cave recently discovered at a construction site. While on location, his daughter Tracy (recently expelled from college) arrives unexpectedly creating more complexity as he attempts to expedite the digg before the Jewish Sabbath.An Israeli Antiques Authority guard named Miri Sharon is assigned to the site and instructs Randall in some of the complex customs of the Jewish religion stressing that “nothing in Israel is simple“. Indeed it is not as Randall soon discovers a mob surrounding the site insisting that any bones discovered be surrendered to them for proper burial.Randall and his daughter hurry to document as much of the discovery as possible before they are forced to surrender the bones to the insistent Jews but not before he discovers a scroll.This discover would be monumental to history but the great significance is how the discovery of the scroll affects Randall Bullock.For purely evidential reasons and with only vague memories of the name Caiaphas from his wife and from his childhood, Randall searches the bible to discover more about this man.A parallel account of Caiaphas is told beginning with his appointment as High Priest portraying the man in a much more ‘human’ way than I have read before. The story of John the Baptist arrival on the scene, Yeshua’s many miracles and healings, and Yeshua’s subsequent trial and crucifixion are retold from Caiaphas’ viewpoint. This is a fiction account,of course, but was very well researched. Christian readers will connect many of the events described in the parallel story.What follows is political intrigue, the path of salvation, and finally reconciliation and redemption. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it highly.
