Query: Good coverage of a complicated subject

Rabbi Wylen gives a good overall view of the influence of the times and the state of affairs leading up to and just after the time of Jesus. There are a couple errors in dates which can be confusing for the novice. (That would be me.)I also would have liked to see an appendix with an overall timeline in it. I'm a visual person and that would have helped me, though others might not miss it. I went to other sources for the visual timeline and pasted a copy into the back of the book for my own use. That let me make notes and changes as I needed to follow the points in the book.A very worthwhile read.
