Temple Logic

Most Christians are taught that Jesus willingly laid down His life and was crucified for our sins as part of God's plan for salvation. All of these things are true, but the historical reasons for His execution are rarely examined. The result is a story accepted by faith that many struggle to reconcile logically. Temple Logic restores that missing context by taking the reader back to Babylon, through the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and into the final days of the Second Temple to explore the flow of wealth and authority through political, religious, and economic systems.

The picture that emerges shows why Christian faith was never passive or safe, and why Jesus' deceptively simple message of belief made Him the most powerful direct threat to the ruling order of His time, by tearing down the logic that sustained elite control. As the history and reality of ancient power and wealth are interwoven through historical fiction, the brave truth of Christianity shines like the star under which it was born.

Author J.F. McCann reveals how the pieces fit together to form a strikingly modern picture that goes straight to the heart of power and the role of faith in breaking bondage.
