Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those Incredible Christians is written as a companion to the bestseller, The Passover Plot. It continues the story after Jesus' crucifixion to the movements surrounding the early disciples and how the message of the gospels developed. It demonstrates with considerable evidence how the understanding of the role and person of Messiah became adapted and corrupted and how the conflicts and power struggles with the Church at Rome, and the Roman Empire emerged.Schonfield writes as an objective historian rather than as a theologian and ruthlessly tries to get behind the intensively researched data to give us a clearer picture of what happened in those times.Learning from history, we will find many parallels in today's world and maybe come to a clearer understanding of what is driving our society today.
