 Religious expert Byron McCane writes field notes at an archaeological dig site located near the Sea of Galilee. McCane will make a presentation on “Historical Jesus” on March 5 at Lone Star College-Montgomery. |
McCane’s lecture, entitled “The Price of Hope,” will argue that the historical Jesus resisted the prevailing social, economic, and political trends of his day, most especially the rising influence of Rome.
“Those of us today who hope for a better future can be inspired, instructed, and warned by Jesus’ example,” said McCane.
McCane has received numerous grants, honors, and awards for his career in Biblical studies. Alongside 20 years of teaching experience, McCane has supervised archaeological digs worldwide. Currently, he is the co-director of the Horvat Kur excavation field school in Eastern Galilee.
McCane’s writings include “Roll Back the Stone: Death and Burial in the World of Jesus” (Bloomsberry, 2003). He was also one of the contributors to the Discovery Channel documentary “Who Was Jesus?”
