THE STRABO CHRONICLES Book Three: Judea

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Cohort...Who was this man Cornelius and what circumstances conspired to place him in a distant province of the Roman Empire at the most crucial moment of recorded history? In the trilogy the Strabo Chronicles author Richard C. Peele has woven a masterful tale of lost battles, Imperial intrigue and redeemed souls in the telling of the journey of Christianity's first Gentile convert from pagan darkness to living faith. In this last book of the trilogy JUDEA, Cornelius has been exiled to the Imperial province of Judea by the sinister Sejanus where he is given command of a motley collection of misfits known as the Italian Cohort. Through a burgeoning relationship with his young servant Micah ben Adam it is not long before Cornelius comes to faith in the God of Israel, a faith that will soon be sorely tested when he is called upon to carry out the execution of a rabbi from Nazareth named Jesus...
