He thought that it was one way of introducing young people to the biblical
events. He also thought that he had not been in any way disrespectful of
Jesus or the apostles. I think, that maybe the way he pictured Paul could be
seen as such, but Paul was certainly a most interesting figure in that drama,
his conversion based on his own account and in the beginning seen as
suspicious by Christians. He might have been a double agent, not for the
Romans, but working for the Jews. Beard was asked what he had in mind to
write about next, and he told us that he was thinking about John, since he
must be still alive while Jesus has not yet returned.
I found the book fascinating, although a bit relentless, too long and detailed.
Ask me for it if you would like to read it.

Without Easter,
there would be no hope of
heaven.
Without the hope of heaven,
there would be no repentance,
no personal transformation,
no attempt to follow biblical
principles.
Without Easter,
the world would be in chaos
and darkness.
Jesus’ death and resurrection
means we can be reborn,
to live better, to do better,
to shine light into the shadows.
Hallelujah!
Happy, Happy Easter.
