Killing Jesus: a History
Kate says:
Bill O'Reilly does a decent job, but this is definitely not a book for the under-18 crowd - Too many details, not just about the events surrounding Jesus' death, but about the Roman culture and what else was going on in the world at the time.I gained a new perspective on the Roman killing squads - the soldiers that were assigned to crucifixion duty were highly-trained, highly-organized.Always a good reminder, as I tend to sanitize my Savior's suffering...

I did not like this on...e as much as the Lincoln book. There was still some fascinating history (I think two whole chapters were devoted to Julius ceasar and I started to wonder if this should have been named "killing Ceasar"), I question some of his actual facts about Jesus. A lot of what he wrote came from the Gospels, but there were other sources I would be interested in digging deeper into. It was also both interesting and at times difficult to read from an agnostic standpoint rather than religious.MoreLess
