About This Book

A series of linked scenes set in the Roman imperial world follows travelers, villagers, and believers as they move between sunbaked countryside, ruined temples, and bustling Mediterranean cities. Encounters range from offered hospitality and prophetic teaching to captivity, arena spectacles, daring escapes, and sea voyages. The narrative traces religious and cultural tensions between inherited pagan practices and an ascendant monotheistic faith, while exploring suffering, loyalty and betrayal, and the endurance of hope amid social decline. Intimate personal moments and public drama alternate to show how individual destinies respond to shifting power, faith, and fortune.
