A Biography of Barabbas: The Robber the Jews Chose Instead of Jesus from the series Wicked Men and Women in the Bible by Robert Alan King is a book with over 6,500 words. King explores what the Bible tells us about Barabbas in order to come to a better understanding of who he was and who he was not. The book also takes a look at the real Barabbas instead of wandering lost in the lore of modern thought that has resulted in fanciful stories about him in books and movies as some nationalistic zealot concerned about the welfare of Israel.
King also examines him as the notorious robber that he really was within the historical context of his life to understand how Barabbas lived based on the socioeconomic conditions of his time. There is also an analysis of crucial Greek words used in the Bible that are relevant to identifying the authentic Barabbas and the real nature of the crime that resulted in his arrest and incarceration. This biography will allow the reader to replace the Barabbas myth with biblical fact. And though this book will help the reader learn more about Barabbas, it will also provide thoughtful insights on several critical choices we all must make as human beings.
Robert Alan King is an ordained minister through Calvary Chapel.
