This is CBS Eye on the World.

Here's John Batchelor.

This is CBS, I on the World.

I'm John Batchelor.

I have a guide to take us to Sepus in the north of Israel called Galilee.

His name is James Tabor, a retired professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina.

He's also taught at Notre Dame, and he's now a distinguished fellow at Hebrew University.

His new book is a revelation to me in most instances.

A few places I familiar with, but that's where the Bible and I have traveled in pursuit of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The book is the lost Mary, rediscovering the mother of Jesus, a new historical investigation of the most powerful woman in the world,

and it's necessary for us to go to a place called Sephirus,

which is why I depend upon the professor to help me understand why I never heard of it before.

Professor, I'm not only a good Sunday school student once upon a time,

the Methodists, the Presbyterians, and the congregationalists.

I graduated seminary, Union Theological Seminary.

Never heard of Sephirus.

Now, this is Roman remains.

You've excavated there.

And I begin there because that's where mary was born where her parents raised her before the adventures that we know as the coming of jesus the christ where is

sephorus why did it disappear good evening to you good. Good evening to you, John. A great way to start.

You know, let's ask people to go get their old family Bible, if they have one,

or around the house, and it'll probably have maps in the back.

And this will be kind of an interesting thing to discover.
