About the author

Sir William Mitchell Ramsay, FBA was a Scottish archaeologist and New Testament scholar. By his death in 1939 he had become the foremost authority of his day on the history of Asia Minor and a leading scholar in the study of the New Testament. From the post of Professor of Classical Art and Architecture at Oxford, he was appointed Regius Professor of Humanity (the Latin Professorship) at Aberdeen. Knighted in 1906 to mark his distinguished service to the world of scholarship, Ramsay also gained three honourary fellowships from Oxford colleges, nine honourary doctorates from British, Continental and North American universities and became an honourary member of almost every association devoted to archaeology and historical research. He was one of the original members of the British Academy, was awarded the Gold Medal of Pope Leo XIII in 1893 and the Victorian Medal of the Royal Geographical Society in 1906.

[J · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very interesting short read on Jesus' childhood. It is old (1902) so both the style and some of the words feel dated.

The content however, makes it worth the effort. Ramsay takes a look at Jesus' hometown, education, habits, and place in the world.
