The Epistle

Mehr zum Buch

A priest is thrown to the floor as the Jerusalem Temple sways and shakes. The skies blacken with storm clouds and rain extinguishes the fire of the Great Altar. The frightened holy man watches in horror as the great curtain separating the Holy of Holies is torn from top to bottom. Why does God shake the very foundation of His Temple? Does it have something to do with the three men crucified on Roman crosses? Fifty days later, the Holy Spirit descends on a novice priest named Ezra and a young woman, Mariam, who has taken the Navarite oath. Ezra and Mariam are baptized into a new faith but what does it mean? Has Jesus established new rules for faithful living? How can the laws of the Temple be reconciled with these fresh teachings?
