By Tony Keddie

…tin Dugard’s bestselling book, Killing Jesus (2013). As I argue in my forthcoming book Republican Jesus, O’Reilly and Dugard also pay far more attention to Tiberius than one would expect.

In a recent Vox editorial, historian Thomas Kidd, a never-Trump evangelical, continues the refrain.
