Now Bill O'Reilly's got a new book called Killing Jesus. I swear he's modeling all of these after Jim Bishop's The Day _______ Was Shot books.
The basic argument of the book is that Jesus died because he interfered with the taxation-heavy Roman revenue stream. The reason the Jews eagerly anticipated the Messiah, writes O'Reilly, is, "When that moment arrives, Rome will be defeated and their lives will be free of taxation and want."
