“Skillfully guides readers on a journey through the complexity and tumult of the Roman occupation of first-century Judea and its inevitable collision with the Jesus Movement.”—DrT. J. Wray, professor of religious and theological studies and author of Good Girls, Bad Girls of the New Testament: Their Enduring Lessons

In late 31 AD, after the Roman senators murdered Lucius Sejanus, the Roman Emperor Tiberius''s closest confidant, the Empire was forever changedIf Sejanus had not been murdered, Jesus would never have been crucified.

This profound connection between the lives of Sejanus and Jesus is the first of many revelations in this startling reexamination of the Roman world in which Jesus walked. With new evidence and meticulous research, DrJames Lacey weaves a majestic and accurate description of who Jesus was.

He introduces ten-year-old Boadicea, who is destined to lead Britain’s tribes in a great revolt against Rome. He depicts Varus marching his legions past a four-year-old Jesus on his war to Jerusalem.

And he describes how Herod prospered by appeasing some of the most dangerous people in history—Pompey, Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Cleopatra, and Augustus.

In this sweeping chronicle, Lacey dissects reams of misinformation to reveal, for the first time, Jesus, as he was born and lived within the grand spectacle of the Roman world.
