To a People Just and Sane

It is a new world! A triumvirate rules in Rome and one of the three rulers, Mark Anthony, has divorced his wife for the Egyptian seductress, Cleopatra. In the far provinces an ambitious member of lower royalty maneuvers his way to be declared King of the provinces of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria. Soon Rome will have its first self-declared Emperor and the provincial king appointed by Rome will declare himself Herod the Great. Through fear, deceit, and murder Herod will rule for four decades. Combining history and hope, injustice and innocence, and the unspoken languages of life, this lyrical tale of ancient Israel reveals the life of a common scribe - a writer and translator of the words of the powerful - is never what it seems no matter the madness of the world.
