The Conspiracy to Assassinate Jesus Christ

Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is about to start a revolution-but it's not the one he had in mind! Opposing forces in Judea, coerced by Lucius Sejanus, the most powerful man in the Roman Empire, attempt to maneuver Jesus as a pawn in a conspiracy to overthrow Rome's second emperor, Tiberius. A new and original plot unfolds as the same events described in the Christian Bible are driven by entirely new and plausible motivations of Pontius Pilate, Roman governor of Judea, Joseph Caiaphas, high priest of the Sanhedrin, and other biblical figures. With one minor exception, the Bible says nothing about Jesus' life before he began his ministry. In The Conspiracy to Assassinate Jesus Christ, follow Jesus on his journey from toddler to teenager, explorer to preacher, and eventually prophet of God. No story has ever linked Sejanus with the execution of Jesus. The startling conclusion will leave you contemplating many of the still hotly debated religious concepts in this could-have-been historical fiction thriller.
