The Way to God - Jesus. The Way to Jesus - the Cross.

In the 1980s, archaeologist Adam Zertal uncovered an altar from the time of Joshua. However, because of the dominance of the Minimalist camp in archaeology, which will not allow any finds that validate the Bible, it was never admitted that the site could possibly be an altar.
