"The leaders of the world’s great religions -- Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Moses -- all had crucial revelations during periods of solitude."
Regarding Jesus, the two times of solitude that immediately come to my mind, based on the Gospel accounts, are his time spent in the desert and in the garden of Gethsemane.
In neither case did he have what I would call a "crucial revelation." (And I'm sure some theologians would argue that it's not technically possible for Jesus to have had a revelation.)

I wonder what the author had in mind.
