Michael W. Hinkle-The Butane Gospel

Published: May 27, 2010, 6 p.m.

Author and retired lawyer, Michael W. Hinkle, has gone where few Biblical scholars dare to tread. His newly released novel, "The Butane Gospel," takes readers on a wild, investigative journey aimed at identifying the men crucified on either side of Jesus Christ. Were they simple “thieves” or “robbers,” as described in the King James Version of The Bible? Or were they revolutionaries, as described in The New American Bible? If the latter, did Jesus know them well? And if he did, could they have been arrested, tried, and crucified with him? What about buried and resurrected with him? Listen to The Writer's Inspiration as Michael W. Hinkle explores these intriguing questions that are pivitol to "The Butane Gospel."
