This is a new perspective to me. Excerpts from the book:
Granted, by the end of the first century A.D, the tensions between Jews and Romans are very high. "Rebels (robbers) rise up in Galilee and Judea on a regular basis. They are not simply robbers stealing money. They are revolutionaries trying to make life very difficult for the Roman government, so that the Romans will leave the holy land. They are Robinn Hoods or Jesse Jameses, folk heroes to many Jews. They are like the Iraqis ad Afghans who set car bombs outside American military bases trying to get the Americans to run home."
There is a storm on the horizon, and almost all the Jews are expecting something to happen.
