Title: Not convincing and he's gotten facts wrong.
Review: I returned this book after buying it. He makes various assertions in it which weren't very convincing. I returned the book after he stated that Christ was born in 3 BC. Which is a year after Herod the Great died. Remember that without Herod the Great, this removes a good portion of "Christmas Story" narrative of the Bible. The magi wouldn't meet Herod asking him about the birth of the King of the Jews. They wouldn't have gone to Bethlehem and been warned in dream not to return to Herod. Then Herod wouldn't have gone into a frenzy and ordered the slaughter of all male children 2 years and under. Joseph wouldn't have been warned in a dream to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt. So on and so on.So if the author is going to make this simple of a mistake on such an important part of Scripture (which shows prophecy being fulfilled), what other mistakes has he made in the book?
