The Yeshua Trilogy — Children of the Way
If the Max Hård novels examine the crises of the present, the Yeshua Trilogy searches for the moral and spiritual foundations of another possible future.
The trilogy begins with Son of the Procurator, a historical and philosophical novel about the human being behind the religious figure Yeshua of Nazareth. It continues through Maryam from Migdal and the women who preserve his human legacy, and then follows the next generation across Antioch, India, Rome and Han China.
At the centre is a view of God that does not separate the divine from creation:
God is life. God is existence itself — the living energy acting in and through everything alive.
Love is therefore not merely a commandment or an emotion.
It is life recognising itself in another living being.
The trilogy also explores how knowledge travels between cultures and generations, how women preserve what official history forgets, and how trust makes cooperation possible between people who do not possess the same experiences or the same truths.
A historical and philosophical novel about the human being behind the religious figure Yeshua of Nazareth — set in the political and spiritual turmoil of 1st century Judea.
The women who preserve his human legacy, told through the eyes of Maryam Magdalene and those who knew the teacher not as a god, but as a fellow human being.
The next generation carries the message across Antioch, India, Rome and Han China — exploring how trust makes cooperation possible between people who do not share the same experiences or the same truths.
"A saga about love, knowledge, trust and the long human search
for a world in which no individual, ruler or institution
can claim ownership of the whole truth."
