Killing Jesus: A History

This book reads like historical fiction. It has too many errors in it to be taken seriously as a scholarly piece of research. Disappointing read.

Easy read. I like the fiction narrative mixed in with quotes from historical documents.

Key Takeaways:

- The world we live in today isn't so bad. I may disagree with some politicians, or occasionally complain about how slow or ineffective they can be, but we are very fortunate to have the systems we do.
- The transformation of the disciples after Jesus' death is quite astonishing. They all moved from terrified and timid to powerful and bold. They would have had to know they would die horrifically because of it.
- Be humble. Even if you disagree with someone, be willing to honestly review your beliefs.
