Title: a book with huge information about the 1. century CE.
Review: I took this book with me during holidays, travelling around Iceland and it was much fun to read it. This is a book, easy to read, with huge information about the 1.century CE and common beliefs in those days. The book has a good bibliography and notes to all pages, as also informations about who's who, for those who haven't learned a lot in church history. At the end of each chapters there are conclusions which makes it easier for the reader to grasp the chapters ideas. When reading this book it is obvious that the writers are very well educated and there is much to think about so I will definately be reading it again and again. What we are dealing with here is the idea that Jesus was originally a myth and never a historical figure. So I think this is more a book for skeptics and scholars, than for those who take the Bible seriously.
Is the review positive or negative?
