Set against the vivid and dramatic backdrop of the Roman Empire, this major novel chronicles the extraordinary life of Lucanus, later known as St. Luke. Born a Greek and adopted by the Roman governor of Antioch, he journeys to Alexandria to master the medical arts, eventually becoming one of the ancient world’s most brilliant physicians. Though he never met Jesus during His lifetime, Luke’s life is profoundly transformed by the message of Christianity. Following the Crucifixion, he embarks on a poignant pilgrimage to the Holy Land, seeking out those who knew The Master—including Mary, Pontius Pilate, and Herod—to document the Gospel that bears his name. Taylor Caldwell masterfully portrays the internal journey of a complex man moving from cynicism and rebellion toward a final, profound understanding of God. Drawing upon extensive research and historical legends, this evocative narrative explores the universal human search for meaning, purpose, and spiritual truth. It is a compelling, deeply human account of a man who rose from uncertainty to become one of history’s most influential figures, offering readers a timeless story of faith, struggle, and discovery.
