Query: Engaging. Makes You Want to Read More

The most wonderful aspect of this great book is that Cahill invites the reader to explore further with other writers who have been more 'scholarly' about this topic, in particular Raymond E. Brown's work on the New Testament. Additionally, Mr. Cahill is a terrific wordsmith. He knows how to engage you, move you, help you understand. His analysis of the four gospels and their particular distinctions are very well done. One can appreciate the differences between Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John without getting hysterical about their inconsistencies. He addresses the tough questions of Christianity and does a nice, even handed job. There is nothing offensive about this book at all, regardless of your denomination. In particular, the section concerning the Apostle Paul and his life as a spreader of the "Good News" is inspiring and helps one understand the political and religious atmosphere of the first century A.D. For that alone, this book is worth reading.
