Thanks, John! I am pretty familiar with Josephus' accounts as well as some of Tacitus' and Seneca's write-ups. Josephus' works are rough-going because he had an interest in placating his patrons to some extent but it's really all we have. As far as the X-rating goes; you aren't kidding. It was a brutal three years. And you're right - all sides were complicit in some really nefarious and under-handed shenanigans. That's what I'm intending to portray. Unlike Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ (which I did enjoy, by the way!), this account doesn't leave anyone looking too terribly angelic.
Thanks, again!
John
