Review title: much promised, little delivered
Product review: Publishers and readers must wonder whether yet another book on the Historical Jesus is justified. What's more, in the absence of new evidence, can be said about this topic? Fredriksen and her publisher promise much -- a new interpretation based on the fact that Jesus' disciples were not pursued by Roman authority. Yet her conclusions, that Jesus was made an example by a cynical Pontius Pilate and his Jewish collaborators, are as old as the Gospels themselves.
