A Novel

The Flames of Rome

In a world full of DVD extras, behind-the-scenes commentary, and social media, people are used to getting the story behind the story. Readers want to understand not just what happened but why. Historian and author Paul L. Maier has created a compelling style of documentary fiction with a view to answering these questions. He uses what is historically known of Pilate's life and rise to power, adds in the known political climate of first-century Judea, and unveils the colourful, untold story that changed history for all time. He provides intriguing answers to questions such as: What really happened at that most famous of trials? Were the proceedings against Jesus legal? Did cowardice or necessity motivate Pilate's judgment? What became of this successful Roman politician after his verdict?

"Vivid style and keen insights make this book a delight and a genuine educational experience." —Moody Magazine In this richly illustrated volume--formerly titled In the Fullness of Time--Paul Maier visits the origins of Christianity, taking the reader back to the first Christmas, the first Easter, and the first Christians. His impressive research and brilliant insights correlate history, archaeology, and the New Testament to bring alive the true drama of earliest Christianity. This skillful narrative sheds a brilliant new light on the life of Jesus and the adventures of the courageous men and women who carried His message throughout a hostile empire. A host of magnificent color and black-and-white photographs recreate the world, the mood, the people, and the events with an immediacy that sweeps readers into the exciting first years of Christianity. "The author is at home in the vast literature of his subject." —The New York Times Book Review "For the supremely pivotal event of the Resurrections, Paul Maier's book lends fresh and scholarly support." —Billy Graham "Fascinating. . . . Brings a new perspective to a story we have known all our lives." —Redbook "Fact-filled, interesting, and successful . . . splendid research. This is a beautiful book." —Christian Century

The Genuine Jesus

The Constantine codex

A man claiming to be Jesus is in Rome. Is it the beginning of the end? Joshua Ben-Yosef attracts a huge following. He was born in Nazareth to parents name Mary and Joseph and speaks more than a dozen languages—fluently and without accent. His words ripple with wisdom and authority. And the crowds that follow him are enthralled as he heals the sick, gives sight to the blind, casts out demons, and even raises the dead. Is Dr. Merton, the well-known leader and author of end-times books, correct about the return of Christ? It seems everyone is a believer in this “Messiah”—including Jonathan Weber’s wife, Shannon—especially when Joshua performs the ultimate sign by raising a disciple from the dead. Plagued by skepticism, Jonathan faces the ultimate challenge in uncovering whether this is the actual return of Christ of the most devious betrayal ever carried out.

More than a Skeleton

Investigating an Israeli who was born in Nazareth and has assembled twelve followers while performing miracles and attracting crowds, a skeptical Jonathan Weber seeks to prevent compromises to the Christian faith.
