Orton, Sankar Viswanathan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The King Nobody Wanted" by Norman F. Langford is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This work explores the life and times of Jesus through a narrative that highlights the expectations of the Jewish people regarding the Messiah and contrasts those expectations with the humble circumstances of Jesus' life and ministry. The story revolves around the anticipation of a king who would liberate the Jews from Roman rule, illustrating the existential longing of the people for a savior who would deliver them from their suffering. The beginning of the narrative depicts the long-awaited arrival of the Messiah, set against the backdrop of 2,000 years ago in Palestine. It introduces the context of Jewish suffering under King Herod and Roman occupation, exploring the hopes and dreams of the people yearning for a savior. The text immediately captures the emotional weight of this anticipation, detailing the significance of the Messiah's prophesied role as a king who would bring freedom and prosperity to Israel. The introduction vividly depicts the mundane realities of life while contrasting it with the miraculous expectation that a Messiah would suddenly alter their fate, setting the stage for Jesus' birth and the unfolding of events that will challenge the established ideas of kingship and salvation.
