With the distribution of Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ, it left many questions concerning some of the biblical figures, one of whom is Barabbas, who was spared by Pontius Pilate instead of Jesus. I, Barabbas looks at a different side of perhaps one of the most misunderstood persons in biblical history. Barabbas has been described as an insurrectionist against the Roman Empire. I, Barabbas depicts why he joined the rebellion.
“This is a very compelling story, but knowing Eddie, I wouldn’t
expect anything less. Taking stories from the Bible and
establishing fictional accounts is difficult no matter the author,
but I think he has given us a great visual of a man we know very
little about. Having watched many different religion-based movies,
especially The Passion of the Christ, I had many questions
concerning Barabbas, and I feel this book does a wonderful job in
allowing us to see why Barabbas may have been in Pilate’s dungeon
in the first place and why he had such a hatred for the Romans. I
would definitely recommend this book to anyone with an interest in
fictional stories based on biblical themes.”

this book is for you. The author provides an imaginative and
descriptive detailing of the atrocities against Christ in his final
days. Regardless of one’s religion or faith, the audience will be
captivated by the depiction of Barabbas and Jesus Christ.”
