THE YEAR GOD DIED: Jesus and the Roman Empire in 33 AD
Bantam Hardcover
On sale May 20, 2025
320 pages, $32
In THE YEAR GOD DIED New York Times bestselling author James Lacey has written a fascinating and startling reexamination of the Roman world in which Jesus walked. Lacey overturns centuries of historical beliefs around the world in this account of how the Roman Empire shaped the life and death of Jesus. This meticulously researched book sheds new light on one of history's most enigmatic figures by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived. It is the first book to employ accepted historical methodologies.
In late 31 AD, after the Roman senators murdered Lucius Sejanus, the Roman Emperor Tiberius's closest confidant, the Empire was forever changed. If Sejanus had not been murdered, Jesus would never have been crucified. This is the first book to make this crucial connection which leans heavily to prove that the New Testament narrative is mostly myth and challenges years of historical orthodoxy. THE YEAR GOD DIED contradicts longstanding historical malpractice to reveal the most comprehensive and accurate view of the New Testament.
Lacey explains how the events in Rome drove events in Judea—which is directly linked to Jesus' crucifixion. He uncovers a vibrant and rich world, but one still coming to grips with the reality of Roman power. He introduces ten-year-old Boadicea, who is destined to lead Britain’s tribes in a great revolt against Rome. He depicts Varus marching his legions past a four-year-old Jesus on his war to Jerusalem. And he describes how Herod prospers by appeasing some of the most dangerous people in history—Pompey, Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Cleopatra, and Augustus.
Dr. James Lacey is the professor of strategy at the Marine Corps War College. He also holds the Horner Chair of War Studies at Marine Corps University. Prior to taking this position, he was a widely published senior analyst at the Institute for Defense Analyses in Washington, D.C. His previous works include ROME: A Strategy for Empire, Moment of Battle, THE FIRST CLASH (a New York Times Bestseller), GREAT STRATEGIC RIVALRIES, GODS OF WAR, and THE WASHINGTON WAR. Lacey was inspired to write this book when researching the Roman Empire for his previous work, ROME: Strategy of Empire.
Lacey doesn’t shy away from exposing controversial findings in this new book that will no doubt introduce you to new perspective you’d likely not have seen before.
