About this listen

Jesus the Holy Zealot by Holly Harlayne Roberts is a bold, transformative exploration of the historical Jesus—one that challenges long-held beliefs and uncovers a powerful truth buried beneath centuries of tradition. Narrated with gripping clarity by Allen Donnelly, and produced by Jack Lewis of Audiobook Publishing Services, this immersive audiobook blends meticulous research with cinematic sound design. With atmospheric background music woven throughout, the listening experience feels truly movie-like—bringing history, conflict, and revelation dramatically to life.

In this groundbreaking work, Roberts argues that Jesus of Nazareth was not a passive spiritual teacher, but a devoted leader within the Zealot movement—a Jewish resistance fighting for liberation from brutal Roman rule. Backed by historical, cultural, and linguistic evidence.

A corrected interpretation of the Gospel of Mark, uncovering that it was Pilate, not the Jewish crowd, who issued the order to crucify Jesus.

Judas Iscariot redefined—not as a betrayer, but as a loyal Zealot soldier following orders.

The disciples reimagined as committed freedom fighters rather than passive followers.

Rome’s manipulation of early Christian texts, editing and reshaping the narrative to suppress rebellion, shift blame, and convert a revolutionary leader into a pacifist symbol.

The second half of the book exposes how the Roman Empire influenced the formation of the New Testament, strategically selecting and altering passages to erase the political mission of Jesus and dismantle the hope of uprising among the masses.

Jesus the Holy Zealot invites listeners to reconsider everything they thought they knew about Jesus—His mission, His followers, and the true reason behind His death. It restores the image of a courageous, holy man who fought for justice & freedom.

Experience history reimagined with cinematic depth, emotional resonance, and immersive sound design crafted by Jack Lewis and Audiobook Publishing Services.
