Fascinating perspective on Roman Judaic history

Really insightful take on the events pre and post the crucifixion era read through the shrouded figures of long hidden gospels. The Roman infighting and references to the work of Josephus the historian were both riveting and intriguing. Where ever one stands on this topic, it pays to have knowledge of this research.

Thought Provoking Revelation of Jesus & Mary

This book cleverly takes you on a mystery tour, using another rediscovered coded manuscript to shine a light into a side of Jesus & his contemporaries that you never really considered yet now seems so obvious. Reminding you with a brief history lesson that Jesus & his crucifixion was not a 'stand alone story' when placed against Rome: Political Intrigue, Imperial ambitions, assassination attempts, machinations, lust & subplots, surprisingly involving Galilee being closer to Rome's movers & shakers than you'd think. Jesus was a man of his times & no political novice! Mary the Magdala also shines as a renowned beauty, astute & independent woman. Very much Jesus' equal, perhaps the "it couple' of the time! This all comes together beautifully in a candid & well researched theory. The fact that the original scrolls contents had to be recorded using double meaning ambiguities gives an idea of the level of political turmoil of the time, dictating Jesus rise & fall.

Provocative and Thought Provoking

This account is superbly narrated and is thoroughly provocative and immensely thought provoking. It just makes sense on so many levels, well to me at least. Jesus married Mary, had sex, challenged the prevailing dogma of the day and was entirely aware of the politics involved. His underlying messages to love one another and to do unto others along with his many other teachings are enduring. I wonder where and what is living descendants are doing with their lives today? I enjoyed listening and reflecting on the many themes this audiobook contains. I enjoyed it immensely and will probably listen to it again.

For those who are wedded to the Pauline version of the bible, this book will rock your world…. Enjoy the ride…. :)

Excellent Investigstion

What an amazing investigation into the historical facts behind the fantasies of today's Christian message.
My mind feels cleansed from all the crazied nonsense and misogynistic dogma that I have been dealing with from churches (ie people) all my life
The authors of this book have laid bare all the lies and restored my faith in the humanity and divinity and relevance of Jesus and his wife Mary's message in my life with the best most up to date information that appears available
Not once do they let themselves off the hook in tracking down the loose ends of this story
Well done guys!
Today's church desperately needs this update and acceptance of these new findings for peace sake

I think all religious people should have knowledge of the contents of this book at least to give a little more balance to some current practices
