The book will be published Sept. 24 by Henry Holt and Co. Martin Dugard, O'Reilly's co-author on the Kennedy and Lincoln books, also will serve as co-author on this project.
In Killing Jesus, O'Reilly "will recount the seismic political and historical events" that made the death of the "beloved and controversial young revolutionary" known as Jesus of Nazareth inevitable.
"Jesus Christ has not walked among us physically for more than 2,000 years, yet his presence today is felt the world over and his spirit is worshipped by more than 2.2 billion people, O'Reilly said in a statement released by Holt. "His teachings, his legacy, his life as a flesh-and-blood man and his death created the world in which we live."
O'Reilly's previous two Killing books have been huge best-sellers, with more than 3.2 million copies of Killing Lincoln in print and 2.4 million copies of Killing Kennedy.
