A bestseller "alive with the bustle of ancient times" that "movingly reconstructs St.Luke's search for God" (
The New York Times).
Two millennia ago, a Greek man known as Lucanus traveled to Alexandria to study medicine. He would become one of the greatest doctors of his time and heal the sick all throughout the Mediterranean world.
But his extraordinary work as a physician is not his greatest legacy. Today he is known around the world as St.Luke-author of the third Gospel of the New Testament. He never laid eyes on Jesus, but he heard about Christ's life and death, and saw God in Him. He retraced Jesus's steps and sought out those who had known Him-including His mother, Mary. The resulting account is a cornerstone of Christianity and world history.
From the celebrated author of
Captains and the Kings and
Great Lion of God comes this stirring and deeply inspiring story, counted "among the bestselling religious novels of all time" (
The New York Times Book Review).
"A portrait so moving and so eloquent I doubt it is paralleled elsewhere in literature." -
Boston Herald
"Magnificent.... [Caldwell] has made St.Luke a real and believable man and recreated on a vast canvas the times and people of his day. You see as large as life all the glory and decadence of Rome and all the strife, turmoil and mysticism of Africa.... A glowing and passionate statement of belief." -
