 Quest for Historical Jesus Should Not be Sought Through Fiction Dec 24, 2007
After reading the previous reviews here, it seems like a contradiction of purpose to say you are seeking true information on a historical quest for the real Jesus through a fictional piece of work. Yet fiction accounts are purported to have more true information than actual research? Since when? Please let's not confuse the two.
'The Bone Box' is OK as novels go, but none the less it IS fiction and should be kept in correct perspective. I recommend reading it for its intended purpose as a good entertaining piece of fiction. I give it 4 stars. I would have given it 5 stars but I had some problems with the author's sometimes amaturish use of phrases and writing, plus the author himself balked near the end and did not take a definitive stand regarding the Talpiot tomb authenticity.

Uses the quest for the historical Jesus to full advantage Dec 05, 2007
A very well-written thriller which has as its central premise that Jesus lies buried at Talpiot (Israel). Suggest that one read it along with The Rozabal Line, a thrller which has as its central premise that Jesus lies buried at Rozabal-Kashmir (India). Both books use history and the quest for the historical Jesus to full advantage.

 fast read... Jun 10, 2007
Bernstein's insightful analysis and research was extremely interesting. The book was mentioned to me by one of my law professor's as a good read for my summer away from school material.
He was right, Bone Box is awesome.

Very intriguing Jun 10, 2007
This book was very interesting. I have always been fascinated by biblical history and this book got to the crux of it.

A Fascinating, Educational and Sensational Read Jun 10, 2007
I read the Bone Box shortly after reading (and seeing the movie) The Da Vinci Code. I was in the mood for a good, full of history, suspense story. I got more. Like the Da Vinci Code, I learned a lot about the period and the events of the time. But beyond that, The bone Box is a based on true events. A story that surely will continue to unfold as more people become aware of the significant finding detailed in the book. A must read.
