Author Description

The First Jewish-Roman War (A.D. 66-73), retold in a novel feeling. The stories surrounding Jerusalem and its final years are given as clearly as possible for this book, and as entertaining as possible, too. Hence why the book is presented in a casual manner, to make the stories easier to grasp than a mere formality. Learn how the Sicarii, Romans, Sadducees, and early Christians are involved in this war (or not at all in the case of the Christians). The book also recounts the lives of people before and during the war: such as Messiah Jesus of Nazareth, Emperor Nero, Apostles Paul and James the Just, High Priests Ananias and Ananus Ben Ananus, Governor (and later historian) Josephus, Zealot leaders John of Gischala and Simon bar Giora, and Generals (and later emperors) Vespasian and Titus. In general, this is a Christian book, which aims to put Jesus in his respectful place.
