About
The Gospel of Caiaphas offers a bold reimagining of one of history's most enduring stories-told from the perspective of the Jewish high priest who condemned Jesus of Nazareth.
From humble beginnings as the son of a temple guard to the most powerful religious office in first-century Judea, Joseph Caiaphas is determined to prove himself worthy. Under the tutelage of his formidable father-in-law, Caiaphas grows in both stature and influence. But as his power increases, so does his understanding of the narrow path he must walk, between duty and conscience, family and fealty, love and legacy.
More than a historical retelling, The Gospel of Caiaphas is a gripping, character-driven drama, richly imagined and emotionally resonant. The Caiaphas depicted here is deeply human, and his story speaks not only to the past, but to the present, where tradition, power, and belief collide with the forces of sweeping and inexorable change.
"Highly recommend this rich, subtle, and thoughtful historical novel... moving and impressive." - Martha Jean Johnson, The Queen's Musician
"This gospel imagines a life-and so a time-filled with love and duty, learning and unlearning, great loss and great intrigue." - Scott Korb, Life in Year One
"Riveting, vivid, and achingly beautiful." - Meredith Storrs, Brave and Beloved
"This deep, dark, daring portrayal of a powerful man and his world is a masterpiece of Biblical fiction that anyone interested in the period should read." - Alex Szollo, I, Barabbas and Quasimodo
