Bill O’Reilly is the co-author of several best-selling books in the Killing series, including Killing Lincoln and Killing Kennedy. Prior to launching this series, he was a conservative political pundit most famous for his long-running Fox News talk show The O’Reilly Factor. O’Reilly’s approach simplifies complex historical events for a broad audience, and his story of the crucifixion of Jesus aims to resonate with both religious and secular readers.

O’Reilly’s background in journalism and media further equips him to approach the subject matter with an investigative mindset, examining the political and historical context of Jesus’s time. O’Reilly’s focus in Killing Jesus is not strictly theological but rather a historical exploration of the events leading to Jesus’s death. His ability to highlight the intersection of political intrigue, power struggles, and historical impact aligns well with the themes of the book, presenting Jesus’s life and death in a way that emphasizes its significance as both a spiritual and historical turning point for Christianity.

Martin Dugard is a nonfiction writer and journalist who has written for magazines such as Competitor and Runner’s World. With Bill O’Reilly, he is the co-author of the Killing series.
