Publisher's Summary
Two thousand years ago, men and women were driven to act by them same emotions, needs, and wants as they are today. In Cry for Jerusalem, Book One, we experienced how such actions forever changed the world for Jews and Christians, and met our main cast of characters: Yosef, Nicanor, Cleo, Sayid, and Miriam.
In Book Two of this four-part series, their epic saga continues its sweeping arc from Rome to Jerusalem, from Antioch to Galilee. Ancient history comes to life through the actions of historical figures, and events unanswered by history become plausibly explained. You’ll listen about the Siege of Yotapta (Jotapata), where thousands of Jews died fighting Roman legions - against all odds - in one of the bloodiest battles in Jewish history, witnessed and chronicled by famous Jewish historian Josephus.
You’ll follow the developing story behind the legendary (but real) Copper Scroll, considered “the most unique, the most important, and the least understood” of the Dead Sea Scrolls. This scroll describes the location of the Temple treasure moved from Jerusalem to be hidden - assumingly - from the Romans (but has never been found). You’ll learn of the factions and dissension that weaken Jerusalem, and the intrigues within the Roman Empire leading up to the Year of Four Emperors and the civil war that would then shape the empire for decades. The Great Fire of Rome, started by Nero, still figuratively burned, and had triggered a series of events that would end with the burning of Jerusalem and its Temple.
