Book Reviews of Saving the Savior : Did Christ Survive the Crucifixion?
Book Review: A Must Read of Truth Seekers
Summary: 4 Stars
As the author of 28 published books, my first analysis of Mr. Salahuddin's work concerns his writing style. Or in this case, the lack of one. I found the book tedious to read because the author kept telling the reader what he would say instead of just saying it. I tired easily of phrases such as "I will present ..." And of course, like many novice writers, he tends to be verbose at the wrong times. As for the information contained in the book, I found most of it to be interesting at best. However, the author tried too hard to present his case, too often citing the opinions of others instead of sticking to solid facts. Like another reviewer of this book, I gave up on the mythology of Jesus once I read the Bible. This began on my 17th birthday when I received a Bible as a requested present from my parents. I was trying to impress a girl who belonged to an extremely religious family of Protestant bigots. By reading the very book they swore by, I learned how bigoted these people were, which only turned me toward other Christian sects, including the Mormons. Over the last 37 years, I have read everything concerning Jesus that I can possibly get my hands on in an effort to sort out the man from the myth. Mr. Salahuddin's work has added greatly to that knowledge. Like so many other seekers of the truth, he has added several pieces to the puzzle that is Jesus. Although the writing and presentation are disappointing, the information contained in this work is not. I would hope he writes an updated version in the future when he obtains more information and at that time seeks the aid of a professional writer as a collaborator or he gets a better editor at the very least. The bottom line for any seeker of the truth is simply this: buy this book and read it. If it doesn't open your eyes to the myths surrounding Jesus, nothing will.
