Goodreads asked Michael LaFond:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Michael LaFond I read the introduction to the Oxford English Bible, and I found out that the Dead Sea Scrolls had influenced changes. I was shocked that quietly scholars had been at work altering the fundamental texts. This led me to seek the status of current scholarship, which was not a question that could actually be answered. I had the idea of doing a comparison between scholars and believers, but that was not interesting. Eventually, I decided to do my own evaluation of the historical Jesus, and this excited me. Of course, I started with the documents closest to the time of Jesus.
