********as for how I like it? Well, I did say I am STUCK in it. The first three or so chapters were narrative summaries of the standard gospels. I'm at 14% (location 1378; Kindle doesn't have page numbers that I've found), and I think he is now summarizing the Acts of the Apostles.
That said, there ARE things I didn't know before and he is describing the people as actual persons making choices and agonizing and such, so it IS enlightening.
