Adonijah: A Tale of the Jewish Dispersion.

Set during the turbulent reign of Nero and the Jewish–Roman wars, the narrative traces the upheaval that accompanies the destruction of Jerusalem and the ensuing dispersion. It interweaves public events—imperial persecution of Christians, military campaigns, and the ruin of Jewish polity—with intimate personal stories: a Jewish man named Adonijah confronts divided loyalties and a faltering attachment to Lucia Claudia as religious identities collide. The book examines faith, exile, and cultural collision through courtroom, camp, and domestic scenes, portraying how political violence reshapes communities and individual conscience while reflecting on prophecy, suffering, and the hope of religious renewal.
