- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Saw the PBS special and it’s great. I’m sure this book would be just as great if every note WASN’T read. Re-record w/out notes & it’ll be a great read.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book presents the NT in a plausible historical context that radically altered my understanding of the influences and origins of Christianity. It’s a rich, scholarly account of things you’ll likely never learn at a Bible college or from a pulpit.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Si la historia es importante para la iglesia, entonces la historia sin distorsiones es muy importante, y solo al cumplir con esta obligación con integridad puede la iglesia continuar el mensaje proclamado por los primeros apóstoles, ampliado por Pablo y reflejado en los evangelios, que el plano horizontal del ser humano y el plano vertical de lo divino se reunió en la cruz de Jesús de Nazaret.
