Fun story well written like a mystery novel nearly. Told through eccentric characters
that go into some fever and recall the events in a past life from points of view of a Roman Centurion and a disciple of a Jewish teacher of the time... Good story tell skills. Kept me interested.

Jewish life, and the enormity of life under first century Roman rule. The story is told through the lives of a roman soldier, a disciple and a young Jew. This writing technique offers a whole picture, a well- rounded sphere peopled with characters in the streets, businesses, and homes, cities and towns Jesus encountered. I have acquired a depth of understanding behind the meetings and events, an enhanced sense - explanations for peoples’ behavior I hadn’t thought of before. Show Less
