Thriller about loss, love, renewal, symbolism and the greatest actual biblical archeological discovery in history., Oct 16 2006
By John W. Koopmans - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bone Box (Paperback)
In my opinion, the most fascinating and by far, the most significantly important biblical archeological discovery ever realized, made its sadly unacknowledged debut in an obscure burial cave in East Talpiot, Israel during 1980. Although this incredible event occurred more than 25 years ago, it is virtually unknown to almost the entire general public. Why it still remains almost totally unknown today is a great mystery, but part of the answer likely relates to the unprepared mentality of the academics who first analyzed the findings, and their seemingly lack of awareness of basic statistical analysis regarding the grouping of names.I am aware of only three books which address the importance of this incredible discovery. The first is a very recent academic book about the Jesus Dynasty by the popular American scholar, Dr. James Tabor. The second is a novel by Kathy Reichs, and the third is this fast-paced, and well-researched novel by Itamar Bernstein about documented archeological research, as well as ancient Judaic and early Christian symbolism.
But the book is also about love, spiritual healing and renewal - an alchemical marriage of sorts, between the living present and the living past, out of which grows the everlasting quintessential essence, as revealed through the deepest, most hidden, symbolic, almost gnostic teachings of the original Christian story.
Treat yourself to the enjoyment of a most entertaining and moving book about archeology, symbolism and love, and at the same time be prepared for several incredibly shocking truths concerning some of the actual details and mysteries surrounding the most underrated but greatest biblical archeological discovery in all of history.

Page turner based on an actual, truly sensational archeological discovery, Oct 13 2006
By Corporate target - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bone Box (Paperback)
An obscured archeological find of a burial cave was made in Israel in 1980, its facade featured on this page. It contained ten bone boxes, six of them inscribed with names described as "luminous with meaning for anyone brought up in the Christian faith."A man and woman Jerusalem police duo engage in an international treasure hunt for these priceless artifacts, with the whole of Christianity riding on the balance. Confounded by a high flying collector-businessman and by their own government,they uncover real evidence for a proposition that could plunge the world into bitter controversy. She is determined to find the truth, he is more interested in his love for her, which is pulling him out of a major depression. He is also more sensitive to the chaos that may well result from pursuing this matter to final conclusion.
The engine of the storyline is the exciting archeology; the theme is grief and recovery through love. I found the coupling original and thought provoking.

A Must Read For Anyone Who Loves Thrillers!, Mar 25 2007
By R. Sobel "Thrillerlover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Bone Box (Paperback)
Writing in a refreshing personal style, tight and flowing, the author concentrates on what the reader expects from an excellent thriller. Credible though very imaginative an original narrative. Intensely engaging conflict between the main character (supported by an IAA official and impaired by his own government) and opponent. Dramatic action as hard choices between patriotism and truth-seeking are forced upon the main character. Sensational archeology - all set upon a forceful description of the agony and deliverance of a father grieving the loss of his first borne son.Looking forward to the next book.
