The shadow of God: stories from early Judaism

---

This book plumbs six centuries of Jewish history, from the Babylonian exile to the destruction of the second temple. Fifteen individual stories, each centered on a historical event, explore typical Jewish characters of that era. Women and men, some historical, others fictional, grapple with changing views of God and Torah and the attraction to Hellenism, while our narrator, Leontius, weaves their exploits into an organic saga, answering the ancient call to be a Jew and worship the Most High God..
