A Roman soldier, Marcellus, wins Christ's robe as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene's robe, a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity. Set against the vividly drawn background of ancient Rome, this is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption.©1942 Lloyd C.

It is a great story, I didn't love so much some of the voices from the narrator, but that's just a personal opinion. Lots of salient points to ponder throughout the story.

Excellent, thought provoking and great listen

The story was told with great humor and passion, but the denial of the miraculous multiplication of the loaves and the undermining of the clear intent of Scripture was accomplished nonetheless. The story gets retold in the book as a miracle of generosity. The crowd following Jesus have secretly stored up food in their clothing, which they are inspired by Jesus to share with one another. Yep. Very sad. The book was excellent up to that point, and following, it finished strong. The narration was excellent; the overall production was flawless; and, the story was well written & interesting. A miracle mentioned in all four Gospels is too important to let slide. I do not recommend this book.
