*The authors primarily portray Jesus as a rebel against Rome who threatened to destabilize the region and who, therefore, suffered the inevitable wrath of the empire.*

Must be some other Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth never threatened the rule of Rome. Pilate would have released him in a minute if he’d dared.

Same here. I haven't watched him in years, but when I caught that statement, it floored me.
Amazing; I don't know what his appeal is. I can't figure it out.

"Note the use of the past tense singular use of the action verbs. It assumes Jesus Christ isn't very alive today."

That's true. For the same reason, the book's title bothers me.

"The more significant event was His Resurrection and now His Ascension and Session."

Amen to that. I wonder if O'Reilly writes about those.

This is what I don't get. Conservatives have been on to him for a long time, yet while the ratings of other primetime Fox shows wax and wane, O'Reilly's stay high. How??

I assume the nest book would be “Killing Obamma”.

I know that would be acceptable because there was a movie

about the “assassination” of GWB. It could be ‘fantasy’.

Or maybe “Killing Trayvon”. But I prefer waiting for

Cashill’s book.

Which has nothing to do with the premise.

Why not his books “Killing Kennedy” or “Killing Lincoln”?

If the divinity of Christ is not clearly laid out, the non-believer won’t get it. As I said above, it just give the atheist more ammo.

I don't know anyone who likes him, so could there be some finagling going on in this regard?

You never know. It makes no sense to me.

I think BOR needs to take a look The Delourus Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ by Anne Catherine Emmerich.

But at least it will get people to think.

.....And NO, it WILL NOT give the atheist any ammo.

Could it be because BOR shows a “cynical side” ?
