  • Chronological Organization of My Thoughts

    By Rusty Tuffputts
    At minimum, reading this book did that for me. Inside the ropes look at Jesus’ life, that explains the who, what, where and when of that time. As a human being that lives, breathes, and walks this planet I now more than ever want to visit Jerusalem. I’ve been to Haifa in 89’. I’ve read Michener’s, The Source and Uris’, Exodus. I’ve been to Rome (also in 89’), I’ve got to visit Jerusalem! That may or may not happen. If not, with the aid of this book, at least I know WHY things happened during Jesus’ life the way they did. O’Reilly and Dugard did a great job explaining that.

    Episcopalian, alter boy and Christian high school. Never knew Jesus as I do now. Thank you both for the enlightenment.

  • Not A True History- It’s Fiction!

    Bill’s got his dates wrong, Jesus was 33 at His His murder and death; names of historical characters are pronounced incorrectly; he adds his own fiction it’s not an accurate historical account; he takes liberty in twisting facts and makes up events or details not part of the narrative, perhaps extra biblical fiction. He really reduces Jesus to a mere man and not a God man, fully human, fully divine. Any serious student who is well trained would fine this account fictional and denies the reality Jesus was God in the flesh and although tempted like us, Jesus wasn’t struggling with His identity, was not a mere man, had great insight, wisdom and divine power. He voluntarily laid down His life, it wasn’t a miscalculation of being accused of blasphemy. Jesus was the only Son of God. Immaculate conception and God in the flesh. I find Bill’s book quite deficient and disappointing, narration is not the best and he made it a fictitious story created by the author’s concepts for his fictitious account. Any serious scholar or student of the Bible during a lifetime would not call this non fiction and true story but true fiction laced throughout the book. I humbly submit.
