MAITLAND, FL—John Lawrence Burks’ new book, Blood of Empires Trilogy—Volume 1 ($24.99,
paperback, 9781498490634, $9.99, eBook, 9781498490641, $41.99, Dust Jacket, 9781498496582 ) bridges
the historical gap to place Jesus of Nazareth and other historical characters
properly into the context of history. Burks hopes his readers will establish an
understanding of the Biblical Jesus of Nazareth, understand Jesus's words and
actions, understand the purpose of life and differentiate between revenge and
forgiveness. Blood of Empires Trilogy
also gives a message of hope and redemption, and provides an answer for out
troubled times.
Burks
says, “The novel will challenge current thinking regarding the Life of Christ.
For example, at the time of the crucifixion, Jesus could not been 33 years of
age, but had to be older. Jesus more accurately was 40 years of age and had a
four year public ministry not a commonly thought, three year ministry. I
published a Master's Thesis in 1984 at Wayne State University, which
successfully dated the crucifixion and four year ministry of Jesus of Nazareth.
It has never been successfully challenged, now going on 32 years since it was
published.”
