Description
The Last Shepherd by Wilbur Smith tells the story of Jesus' ministry in Palestine during a time of great turmoil. As the Roman Empire's influence grew, so did corruption and division among the leaders, causing a deep-seated divide between the rich and the poor. The Pharisees, who demanded strict adherence to Mosaic law, further exacerbated this issue, placing an even greater burden on those already struggling. Jesus' message of love and redemption was met with hope by many, but also with fear and hostility from those in power. After John the Baptist's tragic death at Herod Antipas' hands, Jesus became increasingly aware of the dangers he faced, leading him to shift his ministry away from Galilee and Judea. This novel provides a detailed account of these events, including two that are only briefly mentioned in the New Testament. By exploring the complex web of politics and spirituality during Jesus' time, The Last Shepherd offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most pivotal moments.
