The Jerusalem Times Extra! Extra! John L. Hoh, Jr i-Proclaim/HoneyMilk Publications ASIN: B0011XDENA Fiction, Religion Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Extra! Extra! is a creative and interesting look at what the newspapers during the days of Jesus might have reported. These accounts include news, interviews, weather, quotations from the bible, and obituaries that detail the events surrounding Jesus and the founding of Christianity from the day of Jesus’ birth through his death to his ascension to heaven. These interesting accounts detail what people of this time would have said and thought about Jesus, his actions, and his religion.

Extra! Extra! is both entertaining and educational. It gives old stories new life and energy. This is the primary aim of this book. With this important bias in mind, this book purposefully describes events in a rather one sided view, from the viewpoint of one of Jesus’ modern followers. This viewpoint assumes that Jesus would have been an important story at the time and that most of the accounts about this man would have been generally positive. Of course, neither of these aspects were entirely true at the time, despite Jesus’ important contributions both in his founding of Christianity and his contributions to humanity as a whole. Nonetheless, as a new and energetic teaching tool, this book is quite unique and interesting.
