Summary: Wonderful books well done analysis of the scriptures
Review: These texts are well done and very thorough research analysis of the scriptures leading to the crucifixion of Christ and the events following his death. They presents relevant associated information and consider the states of mind and the circumstances at the time of the events. They are organized so that research threads can be followed through the texts

Summary: Thorough Historical Critique of the Passion Narrative
Review: This was really an incredible work to read through. Though I can understand how one could find parts tedious (those that examine historical contexts and practices relevant to the PN), it is a must read for anyone who desires to find the historical certainty and occurance of the Jesus' death. I do disagree with many conclusions Brown makes; however, I gave it 5 stars just because of the sheer cohesiveness and completeness of the work. It's an enjoyable read. And man, you gotta love those interesting appendicies :)
