Barabbas

by Ian Okell

Overview

They crucified the wrong man, but what about the one that got away? A surprisingly candid view of the turmoil following the death of Jesus, as seen by a lucky but unrepentant eye witness. Why are accounts of Jesus' trial almost certainly wrong? Why if Mary Magdalen was so central to Jesus' life does she abruptly vanish from the story? Barabbas could have the answers. "Plausible and fascinating."

About the Author

Ian was for many years a ship’s chandler, part of the fourth generation in his family business, supplying merchant vessels around the United Kingdom and north west Europe. Deciding that too much of his time was spent in travelling, and looking for a job which allowed more time for a home life, he set up a local business of his own; a registered firearms dealership.
However, although still fun, the gun shop has turned into a much busier operation than originally envisaged, and is now run by son Mike, with Ian relegated to the role of general dogsbody. He is also a commercially qualified pilot on medium sized twin engined aircraft.
Ian and his wife Margaret, another pilot, live in Cheshire, they have three grown up children and, so far, two grandchildren. For many years writing has been his hobby, resulting in about one book a year, although never with any thought of being published. It was only after taking part in a British Arts Council literary criticism website that his books found their way into print.
