Rated 5 starsThe first televisual expose in script
Whereas the information in this book was well established before it was published, a bare bones assesssment of the gospels had not been broadcast on British television until this programme came out for that is what the book is - to follow a TV series released around 1984-5. Sadly, since this book was published, Wilson has tried to recant from his position of being something of a sceptic or heretic (which he never was anyway)...
