The Last Days Of Jesus: His Life And Times Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Two thousand years ago, Jesus walked across Galilee; everywhere he traveled he gained followers. His contemporaries are familiar historical figures: Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus, Herod the Great, Pontius Pilate. It was an era of oppression, when every man, woman, and child answered to the brutal rule of Rome. In this world, Jesus lived, and in this volatile political and historical context, Jesus died―and changed the world forever. Adapted from Bill O'Reilly's bestselling historical thriller Killing Jesus, and richly illustrated, The Last Days of Jesus is a riveting, fact-based account of the life and times of Jesus.

i HAVE JUST FINISHED READING THIS BOOK. IT IS A GREAT HISTORY BOOK. . i LIKED THE BIBLIOGRAPHY AT THE END THAT TOLD YOU HAD HAPPENED TO ALL THE CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK. WE DON'T REALIZE WHAT A VIOLENT TIME THAT WAS AND THE CRUELTY OF THAT TIME. I WILL BE ORDERING THISI BOOK FOR MY GRAND KIDS.
After seeing this book advertised on my I-Pad. I thought it would be an ideal 14th birthday present for our grandson; but I had to read it first to be certain it was as true as possible to the Bible. Since reading it I have given a copy to our grandson, two copies to church members and plan to give away at least five more.Not only is it we'll written but the illustrations the author has chosen are excellent. The description of what Jesus went through from the time He was arrested until his death on the cross is especially informative as Easter approaches.Arthur D. Graham, M.D.
First I am a Christian, who likes history and historical fiction based books by many authors. This book looks at all the facets involved during Christ's time on earth. And Rome was all about politics. As were and probably are most "religious" leaders then and now. ( look at the business of Mega church's today...or churches on every corner with homelessness and hunger still a problem...)Given that perspective this books was well written and puts into perspective the history and politics surrounding Jesus life and times. I do not view this as an attack on Christianity. I see this as one possible study on the historical time that Jesus lived. As well as the romans involved. The book is well written and informative of those times. You can understand how and why from a government- Rome and religious- The Temple perspective=Money and or Power events unfolded as they did. The powers that be then felt threatened by Jesus message. The good news the unfolding of this research can better help us understand the how without taking away from the basic teaching of Christ, love your neighbor as yourself. Love your enemies so they can come to know God. And love and forgiveness is not easily done now nor then by people who feel they have been misused. Jesus message is still timely because it actually frees one from that oppression, and makes you less able to be manipulated and controlled. that was the threat- individual freedom. So if you want a book that walks you through the politics of that time this book will do that.
I read both books the other one being Killing Jesus, and will be reading them again. I knew The last days of Jesus was written for a younger crowd but I teach religious ed. and will be recommending this for my classes.
It gives a journalists report of life in the towns where Jesus lived & traveled. It did not focus on the miracles as the churches do but rather the political/religious infighting. Although I am Roman Catholic I felt closer to Jesus as a man after reading the book. The book dealt with the facts discovered by the authors from verifiable sources.
Well another good book and another review that I hope will make the libs angry. Buy the book and enjoy the history that is presented to you from reading it. I read it in about a week on my down times at work.
I was able to re read many parts of the bible as a result of reading this book.Bill O'Reilly once again provides me with a home run educational.I enjoy Bill's books while I can not stand his pompous personality...oh well...50% spin!!
I found this book a well suited read for my grandchildren ages 8 and 11. They loved it. It is non-biased or religiously oriented in it description of the last days of Jesus. Thrilling, actually. I recommend it for adults as well as our youth. It makes Jesus a realistic figure instead of some abstract idea.
