Killing Jesus

By: Stephen Mansfield

Narrated by: John McLain

Torture. Infanticide. Brutality. Murder. The world would never be the same.

The execution of Jesus was a crime born of the streets, the barracks, the enclaves of the privileged, and the smoke-filled back rooms of religious and political power brokers. Its meaning lives in these places still. It is the most fiercely debated murder of all time. Its symbol is worn by billions of people worldwide. Its spiritual meaning is invoked daily in time-honored rituals.

In Killing Jesus, New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield masterfully recounts the corrupt trial and grisly execution of Jesus more than 2,000 years ago. Approaching the story at its most human level, Mansfield uses both secular sources and biblical accounts to bring fresh perspective to the human drama, political intrigue, and criminal network behind the killing of the world's most famous man.

It all comes alive!

This is a story told a thousand times, but this book gives concrete and historical details that make it come alive, that make it utterly believable.

Outstanding

This is good. Really good. Educational, moving, and wonderfully read. I can only think of a few I enjoyed more.

I bought the hard copy!

This is fantastic!! I bought the hard copy and I want to go through it line by line and read my Bible alongside it. I recommend it to EVERY Christian!

It read like an investigative, mystery novel

I loved the third person point of view of the key characters in history. It appeals to all types of readers. However, it shies away from the historical fact of eye witnesses to Christ being alive after such a terrible and horrific death. He lives and that’s the fact.
