Summary

"Philochristus: Memoirs of a Disciple of the Lord" by Edwin Abbott Abbott is a historical fiction that imagines the life of Philochristus, a disciple of Jesus, during a turbulent time in Israel. Through Philochristus's eyes, the story looks at his early life in Galilee, marked by family tragedy under Herod's rule, and how he was raised which shaped his deep desire for a true savior for Israel. The novel explores the big ideas of faith, doubts, and the search for spiritual truth against a backdrop of political oppression and declining morals, creating a stark contrast between old laws and the new spiritual teachings that will define his path and change everything he ever know.
