Summary
The Jewish sect which ascribed Jesus the title of Messiah was eventually transformed into a non-Jewish movement wholly separated from its Jewish context. The transformation was not instantaneous, and there were deviating or at the least parallel streams of Jesus supporters early on. A critical mistake which has been made, in my opinion, is the assumption that the Jesus movement was uniform even among its early Jewish followers. Analyzing the original movement(s) in the first centuries of the Common Era can reveal how the schism between Judaism and Christianity evolved. This audiobook explores the fascinating world of Jewish life in the Second Temple Era and the Jewish groups that endorsed Jesus' messianic claims.

A doctoral thesis read by a robot
This is easily the worst book I have ever bought from Audible. The title is promising but this "book" sounds like someone's learned doctoral thesis, never intended for a wider audience and lamentably replete with typos.
The author obviously assumes a significant prior knowledge of the subject on the part of the reader/listener. Anyone coming fresh to the subject will find the contents impenetrable.
As if this were not bad enough, the narrator, seems to have very little if any knowledge of the subject matter. His narration is robotic as one might get from a SatNav, full of errors of pronounciation, and it is clear at times he has no real understanding of what he is reading, although that does not deter him and he ploughs on regardless. This is particularly obvious when he reads faithfully and without pause or hesitation obvious typos, even though by doing so he is reading something which makes no sense at all and comes out as pure gibberish.
Far from having to pay to listen to this I was left after about 3 hours (I gave it a good shot but gave up in the end) feeling that I should have been paid for having to listen. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
