Review title: Disappointing
Product review: I was actually very disappointed with this book. I was expecting a discussion of Palestine in the Time of Jesus: Social Structures and Social Conflicts and not another detail (word-by-word) dissection of the bible which clearly sees the current King James Version of the bible as the true word of god.Perhaps it's that I just finished, "Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why," By: Bart D. Ehrman, which is a terrific introduction to the concept of the bible being crafted and changed by humans.I was just not prepared for a book which suggests that readers of the bible, "Identify the biblical passages relevant to the topic, using a concordance: words and phrases; metaphors; conceptualities." (pg 164)I was expecting a discussion of a day in the life of Palestine in the time of Jesus - A history class and not another religion class.If you are already a true believer, then this book is for you. If you are looking for history, keep looking.
