One of the most important, detailed works of history on the most important event in our history.

The face of global politics, society, law, and belief changed irrevocably when Jesus of Nazareth was crucified.

Through vivid, thoroughly painted historical research, you are invited to walk down the dusty streets of ancient Palestine, enter the dwellings, the Temple and the Synagogue, visit the Academy, market-place and workshops, associate with the locals in familiar discourse and discover the world that bore Jesus, and the world that decided to kill him.
