A lot of information. Slow paced, but a really interesting take on the life of Christ and how the prophecies of a Jewish Messiah were fulfilled. It's really interesting to read feminine takes on the works of antiquity, fictional or not. That being said, I do wish it was faster paced, and that the the names used were more solid. I understand we often have the merging of Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and other names, but calling each individual by 2 or 3 names was very confusing especially as an audiobook.
