Description

In this sweeping historical romance, the reader follows the enigmatic Salathiel, a man doomed to wander the earth for eternity after uttering the haunting words “Tarry thou till I come.” Set against the turbulent days surrounding the crucifixion, his endless journey weaves through the clash of early Judaism and the nascent Christian faith, offering vivid glimpses of ancient Palestine and the looming fall of Jerusalem.

The narrative balances love, adventure, and theological reflection, inviting listeners to contemplate the promise of a second coming while staying grounded in richly imagined characters and dramatic events. Interspersed with carefully annotated passages and evocative illustrations, the story also includes a scholarly appendix of Jewish perspectives on Jesus, adding depth to the tale. It is a compelling blend of romance and history that engages both the heart and the mind.
