The Coming of the King

A historical novel follows episodes from the final year of a Galilean teacher's ministry, moving between intimate household scenes, healings, debates, the restoration of a friend, and a pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover. Rising political tension with Roman authorities, private encounters in gardens and homes, and a public trial and execution frame the narrative. Interwoven domestic portraits and prophetic discourse reveal moral conflict among witnesses and the inner struggles of both Jewish and Roman characters. The work alternates personal conversation and public spectacle to examine faith, leadership, sacrifice, and the varied human responses to a figure asserting a messianic destiny.
