The first part of the book covers topics such as the origins of Christian archaeology, the role of the Church in archaeological research, and the various methods used to uncover and study Christian artifacts. The second part of the book is broken down into chapters that cover different types of Christian artifacts and structures, such as churches, catacombs, inscriptions, and icons. Each chapter provides detailed information on the history and significance of the artifact or structure, as well as illustrations and photographs to help readers visualize what they look like.
