The Betrayal: The Lost Life of Jesus by Kathleen O'Neal Gear, W. Michael Gear
4.0
An entertaining, captivating story framed within a most thought-provoking re-visioning of what we have received as "history." Four stars for the research alone, which is cited in extensive notes (themselves a fascinating read).
Alas, the book's great strength is also an occasional weakness, with the authors sometimes awkwardly inserting their voices into the narrative. All in all, though, I found it enjoyable and was eager to read on and unravel the mystery of the "Pearl." The scenes involving Yeshua's loved ones after the crucifixion were quite touching.
Recommended.
