This review is from: The Messiah (Hardcover)
It is the year 1524.Jew David Reubeni is a Warrior. He goes to see the Pope. He wants the Pope to help him get an army together of Christians and Jews to remove the Arabs from Israel. The Pope says he will help him. But every thing goes terribly wrong. He has few supporters among his own people. He is betrayed, horribly. Some people in Italy want him to be THE MESSIAH but he is not. Most Jews don't want him stirring up trouble. Christians and Jews turn him over to the Inquisition. They want him burned at the stake. He is a complicated hated man. Who is David Ruebeni? Book says he is from Chabor a Jewish kingdom of 300,000 people in the African desert. He is a King Josephs brother. Believe it or not--book is BASED on a true story. David R wanted to make a homeland for the Jews several centurys before one actually came into being. A true visionary. Dead before his time. Halter is a great author. I love his women stories the best. bette 60ish okc ok retired |
