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.

Traditional Catholic Perspective

I avoided this book for several years. What does O’Riley know about true ‘Christian’ history? Turns out, more than me.

I was riveted, learned things I thought I knew, and my Faith in Jesus Christ was empowered.

I though to myself, that’s right, Jesus sentenced Himself to a gruesome death on the Cross when He entered Jerusalem on a donkey; KNOWING the man who did so would be signing his own death warrant.

Fantastic!

I’ve been a Christian for several decades and have been involved with Bible studies for more than 20 years. I understand how hard this undertaking must have been. There are too many accounts to make this purely factual but the writers tried to do their best to capture the context of this time and the people who were involved. Even though some of the “facts” are debatable, I consider this overall a fantastic effort.

Another Masterpiece From Bill

Not only is the book well written-it's narrated by the author which to me is very important since one gets the info "from the horses mouth" as it were.
Bill's books (& I have several of them) are factual, interesting, honest & more importantly IMPORTANT.
Fantastic life story about someone who's has had such a huge effect on how much of the world thinks & lives.
Thank U Bill-

Moving and full of good information.

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

I liked that the audiobook was recited by Bill O'Reilly. This added an extra bit of enjoyment for me.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jesus - characterized beautifully as both human and divine.

Which scene was your favorite?

Jesus berating the moneychangers in the temple.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me laugh and cry both.

Any additional comments?

Bill, I have read all of your books and this one is right up there with Killing Kennedy. The details and documentation you presented are fantastic and very inspirational. I would love to see you write something on Mary and Mary Magdalene. Thanks for doing this research for us.

Fascinating

Amazing story. O'Reilly's voice is far from boring.
Hard to stop listening when at work or to take a shower. Although a horrific journey through Jesus' life, it strengthens my faith hearing it again. Good job Bill!

A great read and audible book

If you could sum up Killing Jesus in three words, what would they be?

It was fantastic.

What other book might you compare Killing Jesus to and why?

Not sure I can. It was truly a historical look at Jesus, His times and the violent Roman rule over Israel as well as other countries in the region.

Have you listened to any of Bill O'Reilly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did tear up at the trial,beating and finally crucifixion of Christ.

Any additional comments?

I read and listened to the book twice and I will probably listen again.

Well done.

a well-done concise and well-presented brief narrative history of the life of Jesus. I know that there are a multitude of ancient sources and I would have liked to have heard more citations during the story rather than grouping them together at the end in the afterword
