Abstract
Based on the imagined life of the Roman soldier in charge of Jesus’ crucifixion, was one of the decade’s best sellers and spawned a renewed interest in New Testament novels.
"A Roman soldier, Marcellus, wins Christ's robe as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene's robe-a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity and is set against the vividly limned background of ancient Rome. Here is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption."--Publisher description.
