Suite101 e-Book The Jerusalem Times
Introduction

Have you ever wondered what the press in Jesus’ day may have written? So have I. Thus I have put together these “news clippings” as if the events were reported by an unbiased press.

The original entry is from 25 December 1BC from a newspaper I called the Bethlehem Star-Herald. Both monikers are used as mastheads in newspapers and both reflect the awesome sights of that first birth—the star that led the Magi from the east and the herald angels who first sang to those shepherds. These news clippings are straight from Scripture.

Following that are clips from the Jerusalem Times from the first Holy Week and going through Pentecost and Peter’s subsequent healing. I have tried to capture the flavor of the place and times while keeping the setting in a traditional newspaper format.

For 25 drachmas, how can you resist reading the news? Especially when it's Good News?
