Reviews for The Robe

Review - Robe, The

Bad history, bad theology, bad writing. Jesus' robe has mystical powers that converts or condemns everyone who comes in contact with it. A Christian is someone who believes Jesus performed miracles — there's no mention of paying the penalty for sins. The Kingdom will come when enough people start being nice to each other.
