The third volume in the Exegetical Histories series is nearly here!  Coming on the 1st of September 2017, The Rome Gospel:

You can pre-order the ebook from Smashwords and Amazon.  The paperback, published by MST Press, will be available from the author and (hopefully) Koorong.

Here’s the blurb from the back cover:

Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, is dead, executed by order of the emperor Nero himself. Then news of the apostle Peter’s arrest spreads through the scattered and persecuted Christian community of Rome like wildfire. When the news reaches Yohanan, also known as Mark, he decides the time has come for him to leave. Before he can board a ship to Cyrene, the city of his birth, he receives a divine call to become a servant of the word — someone who can retell the account of Jesus, the Messiah.

In order to do so he will need to spend time with one of the last eyewitnesses still living in Rome, a woman named Junia. The process will be a lengthy one and the danger of arrest for both of them is a daily risk. But Mark is unprepared for the memories that are stirred up, memories of his childhood, the failures and successes of his adult life, but most importantly the memories of a horrible, dark night many years ago in Jerusalem…

Become immersed in the context that gave rise to the first written gospel, the gospel of Mark, in this exciting historical novel by Ben Chenoweth, author of The Ephesus Scroll and The Corinth Letters.
