rallsley's review against another edition
challenging
informative
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
Fantastic historical perspective and review of the New Testament events many Christians are familiar with. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about the context of the life of Jesus and even a bit about how the gospels were constructed, no matter where they lie on the spectrum of religion. There's something in there for everyone. Be cautious because it will challenge what you may already think you know about Jesus.
Moderate: Xenophobia, War, Violence, Colonisation, and Genocide
Minor: Torture
This book does detail and review events related to Roman occupation and destruction of Jerusalem as well as discussing the crucifixion of Jesus and stoning of various other Bible figures
