Crucify!: Why the Crowd Killed Jesus by Timothy J. Stoner takes a rather unusual approach to theology, using a true crime narrative-styled laying out and examining of scripture and known-occurrences to extrapolate some kind of further understanding of Jesus' earthly mission and its tragic outcome, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C.

Description
An Ancient Murder Mystery
On Sunday they jammed the streets celebrating his arrival. But on Friday they were screaming for his blood.
What prompted this stunning reversal? Why did this man’s followers and friends demand his death?
Crucify! reveals the motive behind the most heinous murder of all time. Timothy J. Stoner mines the Gospels to expose Jesus’s secret agenda and uncovers his dangerous and provocative mission. Is there something about this young Rabbi that we have failed to understand or appreciate?
Answering these questions raises another—one that is more troubling: If we’d been there, would we have joined with the scandalized crowd crying Crucify?
