An Easter Disciple: The Chronicle of Quintus, the Roman Knight

A Roman soldier walks into Jerusalem and finds something more dangerous than any battlefield. Quintus, a knight trained in the way of iron and empire, comes seeking glory. What he finds instead is a wandering teacher speaking of love, sacrifice, and life beyond death, a message that threatens everything his life has been built upon. Set during the turbulent years of Christ's ministry and Passion, this 1922 novel traces one man's astonishing transformation from doubt to devotion. Quintus witnesses the miracles, hears the parables, and stands among the crowds as history tilts toward the cross. Yet faith does not come easily to a man of Rome; his journey through uncertainty and turmoil mirrors the struggle of the early Christians themselves, those who risked everything for a vision of resurrection. The novel culminates in a vision of the risen Christ that transforms Quintus into an Easter disciple, one who carries the radical hope of eternity back to the heart of the empire. For readers who crave historical fiction that grapples with the deepest human longings, this is a story of empires falling and the soul's improbable conquest.
