According to the publisher, Killing Jesus will focus on the events leading up to the crucifixion.
 
“Jesus Christ has not walked among us physically for more than two thousand years, yet his presence today is felt the world over and his spirit is worshipped by more than 2.2 billion people,” stated O’Reilly. “His teachings, his legacy, his life as a flesh-and-blood man, and his death created the world in which we live.”
 
Killing Kennedy was published in October 2012 and has been a fixture on the NY Times bestseller list for 20 weeks. O’Reilly’s Killing Lincoln recently aired as a made-for-TV film which debuted to record-breaking numbers on National Geographic Channel. The book has sold over 3.2 million copies and has spent 73 weeks on the bestseller list.
 
The Details:
 
Killing Jesus will tell the story of Jesus of Nazareth as a beloved and controversial young revolutionary brutally killed by Roman soldiers. O’Reilly will recount the seismic political and historical events that made his death inevitable, and the changes his life brought upon the world for the centuries to follow.”
