"Historical fiction following the journey of Judah from rebellion to fighting in the arena for his life, and whether extremism does more harm than good."
“It’s funny, before we were arrested I was reading one of the Psalms and one of the lines struck me – 'how can we sing the Lord’s songs in a foreign land?' But we have, we have managed to make a life here."
Set in the tumultous days of the Great Jewish Revolt, IUDEA CAPTA is historical fiction that follows the lives of two brothers, Judah and David, who decide to fight against opressive Roman occupation of their homeland.
Following his capture by the Romans after Jerusalem's destruction, Judah is taken to Rome and meets a Roman family caught up in the politics of the time. There he learns how fanaticism seems to hurt those whom it claims to protect and has to fight for his and their lives in the arena.
