Critic reviews

"What surprised me, with [Robinson's] take on the possibility of two 21st century men meeting Jesus, was the utter lack of predictability.... He offers a new perspective on ripping apart the time-space continuum I am shocked no one has ever considered before now." ( Round Table Reviews)

"[A] thrilling and fast-paced 'what if?' scenario." ( MidWest Book Review)

"[A] rollicking adventure.... The story opens explosively and is laced with suspense and humor. Robinson writes quite well and is an up-and-coming author to watch...we'll hear, read, and see a great deal more from him in the future." ( Christian Book Previews)

Amazing

This will be my forever favorite book. Being a sci-fi fan and a lover of history. This was an Amazing story.

Biblical subject matter.

BUT A TOTAL SCIFI! I love stories about real history and the lives of those who live it. also love me some good old sci-fi time travel stuff. so, yeah... I loved this one!

And as long as you're not so biased against religion or head over heels in love with it, you'll prolly love it too.

And this story really drives home the saying about atheism being the most faithful of all religions. it is told by a man who truly believes in Christ being Lord.

There is horrid violence. you won't vomit, but it is in there.

Time travel is the second least believable part of this story

This is a well executed time travel story. The supernatural and religious elements are the parts I could have done without.

Epicly soul stiring story

I've been a Christian my whole life, and this tired something in me. Every time I think a new book of JR,s is my favorite, another pops up and I have a new favorite. I can't wait to read more!

This book is a must !

If you could sum up The Didymus Contingency in three words, what would they be?

Jesus knows all!

What other book might you compare The Didymus Contingency to and why?

Nothing! It's that good! Makes you think!

Have you listened to any of R. C. Bray’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yea most any book I find that he's telling I download .

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I actually did believe it or not and I have re listened to it 3 more times science and every time I find something's new I missed and this is one book that had me crying every read.

I was skeptical, but it didn't disappoint.

From start to finish, Jeremy grabs your mind while RC takes your ears on a fantastic journey, weaving factual ancient history into science fiction. What if... you could go back in time? Where would you go??? Like the main Characters, one of the first places I would go, would be to visit Christ. I'd try to stay in the shadows and the background. With some of the most creative writing I've experienced, Jeremy takes it one step further, what if you accidentally end up being called as one of Jesus' apostles? Someone from modern times being written into ancient history. This tapestry of words was beautifully written to appreciate as you might some of the most fantastic artwork ever viewed. It's that good.

I found myself referencing the new testament to check if things really went down the way they had in this book. He did his homework and put this together with amazing detail. If words could be paint and this story was the canvas, This is a painting I'd hang in my home. All the while, it's packed with action and intrigue, I finished this book faster than any I've listened to before. I just couldn't stop listening.

This is a story told from a unique perspective.

This is not an apologetic story. This is not an attempt to convert people to Christianity. As a Christian, I enjoyed this book. What this book is, is an age-old tale retold through a very unique set of eyes. This idea is brilliant. I don't care what religious preference you have or if you have none, this is a well-told story with a happy ending. Not everyone will like this but I highly recommend it. As a Christian, I have recommended it to several friends already. It raises some wonderful questions that we each need to examine in ourselves. What a good book. I'm buying this in hard copy to put on my shelf in hopes that one day I'll have grandchildren who read it.

Fantastic!!!

This story was full of history, intrigue, romance and religion. It was amazingly entertaining and exciting to read.

excellent

love this story. and the narration is amazing. I have listened to this audio book at least 100 times.thank you

Epic time travel story!

This is an awesome twist on the time travel genre. It's a science fiction story that includes adventure, science, and alternative history and more. It's main premise involves time travel back to the days of the new testament with the twists and turns I've come to expect from Jeremy Robinson. It does have a Christian view to it overall, which I enjoyed. Having said that, I still believe this book could be enjoyed by both Christians and non-Christian alike. This book has stories within stories, likable characters, suspense, and awesome twists that keep you wanting more. RC Bray's narration is, as usual, fantastic. High recommended!
