Mysterium IV Judea

During the fourth in this series of Theophilus's first-century quest to interview eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus before it is too late, he reaches Judea, regarded by many as the Holy Land. This land beckons over the mystic mirror of the Sea of Galilee, known in the era of 100 AD as Kinnereth, "Harmony." On his peregrinations around this sea, Theophilus's expectations run high. There is Magdala, supposedly the home of Mary Magdalene, and Capernaum, famous as the site of more Jesus miracles than anywhere else, and Tiberias, the last town controlled by Jews anywhere in their recently devastated Holy Land, and therefore sure to be the repository of much Christian lore. And of course, there awaits Nazareth -- unless the warnings of a certain mysterious angel prove true. Theophilus follows in the footsteps of Jesus through the frightful Desert of the Temptation, along the awesome Dead Sea, to the site of the Passion which will assuredly be the most revelatory site of all: the most sacred terrain in all the world, Jerusalem.

A discussion guide is included to help book clubs and personal reflection.
