About the Book

"For the Temple: Retold" is the new edition of the historical novel by G.A. Henty, first published in 1888. Set against the backdrop of the Roman occupation of Jerusalem in the first century AD, the story follows the adventures of John of Gamala, a Jewish youth caught in the fierce struggle between his people and the Roman Empire. The narrative begins with John witnessing the brutal crucifixion of his father by Roman soldiers, sparking a desire for revenge and liberation. This harrowing event propels John into the ranks of the Zealots, a group of Jewish rebels dedicated to overthrowing Roman rule and reclaiming their homeland.

Henty's novel excels in its meticulous depiction of the era's political and social tensions, capturing the fierce struggle between Jewish nationalists and the dominating Roman forces with historical precision. The story brings to life the customs, traditions, and intense religious fervor of the Jewish people, juxtaposed with the ruthless tactics of the Roman occupiers. The richly textured portrayal of ancient Jerusalem, from the bustling Jewish quarter to the opulent halls of the Roman governor's palace, immerses readers in the tumultuous atmosphere of first-century Judea. John of Gamala's transformation from a grieving son to a seasoned warrior is skillfully depicted, highlighting his unwavering determination and loyalty to the Jewish resistance. Alongside John, a diverse cast of supporting characters, including the charismatic Zealot leader Eleazar ben Simon and the courageous Miriam, add depth and complexity to the narrative. Viewed within its cultural context, "For the Temple: Retold" now tells a compelling historical adventure, beloved for its thrilling action, vivid characters, and immersive historical setting in contemporary language.
