Jesus: The Cold Case

The Book Behind The Documentary. For True Crime Investigator Bryan Bruce The Death Of Jesus Of Nazareth Is The Ultimate Cold Case. The Two Deceptively Simple Questions, Who Killed Jesus ? And Why? Serve As The Starting Point For His Landmark Re-examination Of The Mysterious Circumstances Surrounding The Death Of The Most Famous Person In History. His Conclusion Is That The Gospels' Account Of The Arrest, Trial And Execution Of Jesus Is So Flawed That The Traditional Easter Story In Which The Jew Set Jesus Up To Be Executed By The Romans Simply Does Not Make Any Sense. He Argues That It Is Based On A Lie Told In The First Century By Christian Writers And Copyists Trying To Spin-doctor Their New Religion To Appeal To The Romans. In The Process They Laundered The Character Of Pilate And Darkened The Character Of The Jews. The Terrible Outcome Of This Lie Takes Us Right To The Gates Of Auschwitrz..this Deeply Researched Book Is A Remarkable Achievement, And An Extraordinary Contribution To The Many-layered Fascination With Life And Death Of Jesus.
