"Year of the Passover" ranges far and wide across the brutal
landscape of the eastern Roman Empire of 2,000 years ago, searching
for clues in determining the year of the Passover of Jesus'
crucifixion. A central character in the crucifixion is discovered
to be Syrian General Lucius Vitellius, who was in Jerusalem at the
time of the Passover preparing for war with Arabia. Hagan's work
also stands alone as a valuable resource on Jewish and Roman
history. Herod the Great and his powerful descendents are studied,
along with Emperor Tiberius and other famous Romans of the era.
Herodias, the Queen of the Galilee and granddaughter of Herod the
Great, is profiled in detail. One of the most controversial and
consequential women of her time, Herodias remains a cult figure to
this day. The secretive Jewish sect of the Essenes is also
investigated. Not only did Jesus take much of his philosophy from
the Essenes, but Josephus argues that, centuries earlier, the
Essenes inspired the Greek mystic Pythagoras. "Year of the
Passover" is a must read for anyone with an interest in early
Christian history. Soft revision March 2013.
