Freedoms Song is both an expanded translation and a one-of-a-kind interpretation of the life of Jesus.

It is a fresh portrait of him based on primary source documents, namely, the four gospels of the Christian scriptures. In this story, these documents are harmonized and arranged into a highly probable chronological narrative. To add depth and flavor, and bring about a greater understanding of Jesus discourses, illustrations, homilies, and deeds, cultural and political beliefs and practices of the first-century are incorporated into the book.

The Prologue opens with a celestial sign that appeared to Magi priests about fifteen months before Jesus was born. This is followed with a discussion of his pedigree and his person.

Part I: Inauguration of Freedom

From Jesus' unique birth to his first Passover in Jerusalem as a youth. It then jumps forward eighteen years to his baptism, personal testing as God's Liberator, recruitment of his first six disciples, and, finally, his first power deed.

Part II: Battle for Freedom

It covers approximately two years of Jesus' ministry—his tour of Galilee with the gospel, identification of himself as the God-man, sermon about God's kingdom, dispatching apostles to spread the good news, teaching by parables, visiting Jerusalem, and his warning to the religious leaders of his day.

Part III: Freedoms Victory

Coincidentally the denouement of Jesus' life. He is back in Jerusalem for another Passover and a final gathering with the apostles. And here he is arrested, tried, and crucified as a common criminal. The story ends with Freedoms Song—Jesus is alive!
