I'd like to know if there are any books that take a story from the Bible and expand in a culturally and theologically accurate manner.

Pontius Pilate: A Novel by Paul Maier isn't bad.
The Last Disciple, The Last Sacrifice, and The Last Temple by Hank Hanegraaf are good.

Originally posted by Christianbookworm View PostI read some of the later books in the series. You can tell the writer is a screenwriter with the sheer number of action scenes. I got the young adult versions, because I don't like violence and sex to be too detailed. Who reads the Bible and thinks, "You know what this needs? More action!". I thought the ones I read were okay. It's definitely fiction.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.

There's promise there, but it's very poorly executed.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
