Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of favour after his disastrous governership of Judaea, Pontius Pilate is recalled to Rome and finds that no one wants to know him. But when the new emperor, Caligula, takes the disgraced governor under his wing, suddenly the whole of Rome is beating a path to Pilate's door. However, Pilate quickly discovers that Caligula's friendship comes at a perilous price. What's more, his past is beginning to catch up with him. Pursued by the fanatical followers of Simon Magus and a murderous heretical sect called the Angelics, Pilate must find a way to confound his enemies and at the same time thwart the ambitions of Caligula without incurring the Emperor's wrath. Written by a Professor of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick, England, this novel brings to life one of ancient Rome's most infamous characters.

Download or read book Pontius Aquila written by Michael Ponzio and published by Mikemarianoponzio. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Pontius Pilate is known for his role in the Bible, less known are the historical characters who shared the surname Pontius and are portrayed in a series of historical fiction novels called Lover of the Sea. The first novel in the collection, Pontius Aquila: Eagle of the Republic, takes place during Julius Caesar's bid for power, generations before the birth of Pontius Pilate. As a young man, Lucius Pontius Aquila falls in love with Cicero's daughter. After a brilliant military career, he is elected as Tribune of the Plebeians. Aquila, a fervent supporter of the Roman republic, joins in the plot to assassinate Caesar. The story continues in the sequel, The Dark Passage to Heaven. Four years after Christ's crucifixion, Pontius Pilatus is ordered to return to Rome and answer accusations that he had cruelly attacked a religious gathering of Samaritans. As his wife secretly attends Christian gatherings, Pilatus must face Caligula's judgment. The records of the Catholic Church include five Christians named St. Pontius, venerated as martyrs, one who was Pope in 235 AD. In the third novel, St. Pontius: Bishop of Rome, the Pope must not only endure the Roman authorities but fight in street battles against followers of Hippolytus, the anti-Pope.

Book Synopsis New Adventures of Jesus by : Frank Stack
Download or read book New Adventures of Jesus written by Frank Stack and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this witty addendum to the New Testament, Jesus fulfills his promise "to reward the just and punish the unjust," yet returns to Earth with remarkably little fanfare. He soon realizes he may have postponed his second coming a bit too long, arriving when the planet has fallen into a dangerously advanced state of decrepitude, i.e., the late 20th Century. Nonetheless, Jesus is determined to carry out his sacred obligation. Being half-human, after all, he can relate to the skepticism of the jaded populace and isn't above performing a few parlor tricks to convince those skeptical of his divinity. The main concern, though, is whether or not planet Earth is too far gone. Fantagraphics Books is proud to collect, for the first time, over 40 years worth of The New Adventures of Jesus, including a brand new story by Stack. This edition also features an introduction by R. Crumb and a preface by Gilbert Shelton. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial; color: #424242}

Book Synopsis Adventures in Orthodoxy by : Dwight Longenecker
Download or read book Adventures in Orthodoxy written by Dwight Longenecker and published by Gracewing Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watch out, Chesterton and C.S. Lewis Here's a writer as clear . . . and as exciting Christians often find the Creed as tedious as a contract, and orthodoxy dull as dirt. In these lively pages - written for Christians and non-Christians alike - Dwight Longenecker shows that, on the contrary, orthodoxy is exciting and the Creed the beginning of a grand, mysterious adventure Longenecker demonstrates that, like an omate cath-edral rich with endless nuances of light and shade, the Creed teases with paradoxical possibilities; it bursts with magnificent meaning and unexpected, eternal insights. It sweeps away nihilism, challenges indifference, and uproots religion grown stale and pedestrian. In a word, says Longenecker, the Creed catapults believers to the brink of mystery and invites them to dwell there, in silent wonder and contemplation. Here you'll finally encounter the Creed as it really is a striking affirmation that bears us not into theological dead ends, but unto a world that never ends; not into an obsolete medieval universe - closed, dark, and dying - but unto a bright and exciting world that moves in ever increasing spirals of glory, a world to which the only natural response is a grateful and hearty Amenl Here is Catholic orthodoxy, as heavy as the universe, made to dance like the universe. Reading this is like coming upon old Augustine dressed up like St. Francis We may have another Chesterton coming along here Thomas Howard, author, Splendor in the Ordinary
