Back in Dec 2013, I posted some comments on a subgenre that might be called "Christian time travel fiction". At that point I had read 3 books in which someone travels back in time to first-century Palestine.
Recently I read a fourth one, The Resurrection Wager by Christopher Coates. In this short novel, a research institute in Boston develops time travel technology and decides to test it out by sending a team back to document the events surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. In the process, they find out firsthand the potential of time travel to alter history.
I enjoyed the book, although the writing was pretty clumsy. (I gave it 3 stars at Amazon.)

One of things I do at the Grace & Knowledge website is post reports on each of the annual Yamauchi Lectures at Miami University. The series started in 2006. Today I finally posted a report on NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman's 2019 lecture.
The next lecture is coming up in early March. The speaker will be Wheaton College archaeologist Daniel Master, who was one of the directors of a long-running dig at Ashkelon. I am looking forward to this one, as usual.
