George MacDonald, the revered Victorian-era author, reimagines the New Testament in this sweeping historical epic. As the Roman Empire tightens its grip on Judea, a humble carpenter named Jesus ignites a spiritual revolution, challenging corrupt authorities and inspiring a devoted following. But his journey to salvation comes at a devastating price. In the aftermath, his disciples must confront their grief and doubts, fighting to preserve his teachings in the face of persecution. This second volume continues the stirring tale, exploring themes of faith, sacrifice, and the transformative power of love.
