Killing Jesus

Killing Jesus: A History | [Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard] 


A bit of a letdown, this one. I was hoping for a historical, factual account of the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth. This, however, was much too religiously based.
All the Romans and the opponents of Jesus were intentionally vilified and described as ugly, grotesque perverts, while Jesus was portrayed very much as the sanctimonious figure Christians believe him to be.
Also, sources like the apocryphal evangelists were blatantly overlooked, while sources from the Bible were overused. Historians like Tacitus and Josefus were barely mentioned.
Not the historical account it promised to be.
