An excellent and enjoyable book on the story of the finding of St. Peter's tomb under the Vatican. Interestingly, an inscription of "In hoc signo vinces” was found near it, contemporary to the life of Constantine. The story may be legendary, but it was circulating during his lifetime! I enjoyed the telling of the people involved in the search, including the amazing work of Margherita Guarducci and a young Monsignor Montini (later Pope St. Paul VI) traveling across America to Colorado. A good read overall and one I highly recommend! ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"In 1939, a team of workers beneath the Vatican unearthed an early Christian grave. This surprising discovery launched a secret quest that would last decades -- a quest to discover the long-lost burial place of the apostle Peter. From earliest times, Christian tradition held that Peter -- a lowly fisherman from Galilee, whom Christ made leader of his Church -- was executed in Rome by Emperor Nero and buried on Vatican Hill. But his tomb had been lost to history. Now, funded anonymously by a wealthy American, a small army of workers embarked on the dig of a lifetime. The incredible sometimes shocking, story of the seventy-five-year search and its key players has never been fully told -- until now. The quest would pit one of the twentieth century's most talented archaeologists -- a woman -- against top Vatican insiders. The Fisherman's Tomb is a story of the triumph of faith and genius against all odds,"--page [4] of cover. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
