The Coming of the King
Produced by Al Haines
"The Coming of the King" by Bernie Babcock is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the first century A.D., the book provides a poignant narrative that revolves around the societal and political turmoil in Galilee during the time of Jesus. The story is rich in characters grappling with oppression, poverty, and the longing for a savior, focusing on a young boy named Jesu and his compassionate interactions within a struggling peasant community. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a powerful prologue that establishes the dire conditions in Galilee, where the looming threat of crucifixion by Roman soldiers hangs over the impoverished populace. A peasant woman and her son, Jesu, engage in a conversation filled with heart-wrenching reflections on the plight of their community. The narrative swiftly shifts to events surrounding Jesu as he encounters a crucified man, revealing themes of compassion, sacrifice, and the harsh realities faced by those under Roman rule. The opening sets a dramatic tone, hinting at the larger themes of struggle and hope that will unfold throughout the tale. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
