Review by: Evone Monteith, 17 October 2010

'A glaring erroneous assumption like: "4 BCE Probable birth of Christ" makes me wonder how reliable or biased all the other information is in a book we expect to be based on fact. It should have said probable birth of Jesus. Awarding him title of Christ when he was born a human man demonstrates a cultural conditioning erroneous assumption that might not bother most people but, nevertheless, it is wrong and would not have been erroneously written that way if Christianity were not so firmly entrenched in our minds and given the power to determine what is acceptable and what is not. To state it plainly: There was no birth of Christ!!!! I am surprised that neither author or editor caught this glaring mistake.'
