This highly engaging and readable book is a study of Joseph Caiaphas, a Jewish high priest of the first century and one of the men who sent Jesus to his death. Caiaphas is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient history and students of the Gospel of Acts.

Ken's review,
This review is from: Caiaphas: Friend of Rome and Judge of Jesus? (Paperback)
For the most part in enjoyed the book. The book goes into some good detail about the relationship between Caiaphas and Pilot as well as the rest of the Roman Government in Judea during the time of Christ. However, she also writes as though she does not believe that the Bible is the word of God. But rather that the Gospels are the created words of the writers and not that of God and were written to "fit" their story. If you are looking for information on the Priest hood during the time of Christ, this is a good book. Just skip the last few chapters on her take on the Gospels.
