Corinthian Leather

"High adventure, solid history, beautiful photographs, religious sensitivity, and bad puns: what's not to like?"

-A. J. Levine

Vanderbilt Divinity School



"The Art West adventures are fun, entertaining, and instructive of the world of the New Testament placed in the context of a contemporary story. The fourth in the series, Corinthian Leather, is no exception. Read, enjoy, learn. It is a great way to get a sense of what first-century life was like."

-Darrell L. Bock

"New Testament scholars who have the ability to craft engaging novels are rarer than chicken molars. Yet renowned scholar Ben Witherington and his wife Ann have successfully married historical scholarship with gripping narrative in Corinthian Leather. The book combines superb character development and stimulating adventure with photo-rich historical and archaeological insights into the ancient cities of Paul's day. It's both a fascinating and educational read."

-Frank Viola

"Ben and Ann Witherington sure know how to spin a story! If you take pleasure in being educated and entertained simultaneously, then make time to read Corinthian Leather (and the three previous volumes in the Art West adventure series). I am already looking forward to reading and learning from the rest of these page-turning, biblical archaeological thrillers."

"What do you have when you encounter an archaeological mystery, a Greek prophetess, the Greek Communist Party, a professional basketball prospect, and a romance? You're kidding. You really don't know? Another Arthur West adventure, of course. Our intrepid adventurer is at it again, this time exploring the archaeological remains of ancient Corinth, a city rebuilt by Julius Caesar and evangelized by the apostle Paul. Readers will enjoy this imaginative archaeological adventure-Art West's fourth-that sheds light on the Corinth of Paul's visit in AD 51 and the key locals with whom he became acquainted. History and archaeology have never been more fun. Corinthian Leather is another delightful book from Ben and Ann Witherington."
