Well if the Holy Spirit told brother Bill to write the book I wish it would have told him to read the gospels first. I haven't read it but if the TV version was any indication it didn't follow scripture at all. I was terribly disappointed in fact that so many things were misinterpreted, portrayed so incorrectly, or were just flat made up. All those conversations between Pilate, Caiaphas, and Herod planning their conspiracy against Jesus before Jesus even got to Jerusalem, just as a singular example. PFFFT....give me a break. There exists no historical or Biblical basis for such an account nor does it even make sense. Pilate wouldn't have given two shits about Jesus one way or the other unless there was a threat against Rome.
John's comment after Jesus made the "...why have you forsaken me?" statement. John says something like 'if God has forsaken Him what will become of us?' Way to miss the point....Jesus was quoting Psalms you idiot (directed at whoever wrote that in the script) and John would have recognized that immediately.
Terribly disappointing depiction on the TV version. Totally amateur and shallow interpretation of scripture. I hope the book was better.
