Seeing Galilee of Jesus' day through Roman eyes, we learn much about the culture and social world of Romans and Jews.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Enter a world of warfare and treachery, of duty and honor, of love and loyalty, interwoven with the inner workings of a Roman centurion's household. And then trace it as the road curves toward little Capernaum. Follow the story of Appius, a proud centurion, and Tullus, his scribe and slave. From a battle with the Parthians, through a tragic personal crisis, to the gladiator arena at Caesarea Maritima, their tale finally leads to the backwater village of Capernaum on the shores of Galilee. There, in a culture not their own and during a week they will never forget, they encounter a Jewish prophet from Nazareth. <em>A Week in the Life of a Roman Centurion</em> gives us a first-century view of the world of the Gospels.
