| Killing Jesus |
In Killing Jesus, Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard explore
the behind the scenes events that led up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As
in their other “killing” books, they dig into facts and history little known to
most people.
The political climate of Israel is examined in light of the
country being under the rule of the Roman Empire. The authors go back to Julius
Caesar and Cleopatra to give details of how Pontius Pilate was placed as
procurator of the region.
While this is not a book for spiritual enlightenment, it
does give a clearer picture of the attitudes of zealots, evil kings, and
Pharisees and the power struggle behind them.
