Status Updates From Zealot: The Life and Times ...

Interesting details of John the Baptist and Jesus’ early ministry; as well as comments regarding Jesus’ early teachings as being cemented in both the political and social turmoil of first century Judea and resistance of these peoples against the established Jewish priestly elite in Jerusalem.

Very interesting first section, mostly historical in nature covers up to like 135 CE.

Very interesting reading, I’m finding this much more compelling than the Strobel book. Very dense though, and more historical in nature, which may be why I’m liking it more.

The intro stuff was quite long. Gonna try to look into this stuff more the book on apologetics was rly interesting…this is very much the opposite end of the spectrum.
