Publisher's summary

Millions of people have thrilled to best-selling authors Bill O'Reilly and historian Martin Dugard's Killing Kennedy and Killing Lincoln, works of nonfiction that have changed the way we view history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor details the events leading up to the murder of the most influential man in history: Jesus of Nazareth. Nearly 2,000 years after this beloved and controversial young revolutionary was brutally killed by Roman soldiers, more than 2.2 billion human beings attempt to follow his teachings and believe he is God. Killing Jesus will take listeners inside Jesus' life, recounting the seismic political and historical events that made his death inevitable and changed the world forever.

Another home run from O'Reilly

I don't care for O'Reilly on TV. Too much interrupting. As an author and narrator, he's great. As with his other "Killing" books (Kennedy and Lincoln), the author was able to put me in the action. Great book and a solid performance.

You NEED this book

Would you consider the audio edition of Killing Jesus to be better than the print version?

I've never read the print version of this book but i cant imagine having it read any other way. The story is written in a narrative that really sets the scene for what was going on at the time of Jesus. Its super awesome that the book is narrated by the author. It makes it some how more personal that way

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

This was definitely a book that i wanted to read in one sitting (and tried!) Its such a fascinating subject and if you've read the gospels it makes it even more fascinating.

Any additional comments?

Read it! If you want to learn more about the history surrounding Jesus' life then you need this book. Even if you don't believe in Jesus it gives you more appreciation for what he was teaching and how radical it was for him to say what he did.

A Well-Taught History Lesson for Non Christians

Dugard and O'Reilly present a detailed and entertaining history of the people and circumstances surrounding the life of Jesus of Nazareth. It lifts Jesus above the veil of mysticism and presents him as a real person who was born at a certain time and place, who lived a life that affected all who knew him, and who did not need cheap magic tricks to astound the entire world then and ever after.

O'Reilly reads his own book as he heads his own news show script. The writing style was more instructive than descriptive which flattened the tone of the horrific brutality of the age; however, it flattened the beauty and emotion as well.

Killing Jesus was a welcomed relief from Eileen Pagels and her fellow cultural revisionists who take texts that were written 300 years after Jesus' death in preference to those written 30 years afterwards and who disregard 2000 years of hermeneutic research and preservation in preference for their own opinion on what ancients texts actually say.

As a parting thought to Dugard & O'Reilly, I suggest a subtitle for Killing Jesus: An Inconvenient Truth.
