Deborah Ballou

Yeshua Wept: a Novel of Roman Judea Deborah Ballou

Divi Filius - Son of God. The inscriptions on the coins of Caesar Augustus' empire declare his divinity to all. Only his Jewish subjects remain devoted to the true God - and suffer for it. Into this clash of cultures is born a man whose impact on the world would be greater than even the greatest Caesars - Yeshua ben Yosef. The world today calls him Jesus. Yeshua Wept peels away two thousand years of history to view Jewish life in Roman occupied Judea. The reader will gain a deeper understanding of what it would have been like for a faithful Jew in a pagan world to realize that God had chosen him to be mankind's Redeemer.
