History is speckled with spots of time during which nothing is noted. These blanks leave much to the imagination and people are often speculating on what they thing might have been. In the novel, Joshua The Odyssey Of A Man, the author makes a bold step to fill in and answer many questions surrounding a high profile gap in the story of man.
The many adventures in the Holy Bible are some of the most well known tales of all time. There are several points at which huge chunks of time are skipped over entirely, leaving readers to wonder what happened while nothing was being recorded. One such episode involves a man who is perhaps the most popular historical figure ever.
Jesus of Nazareth, often referred to as the Christ child, the son of God or the Messiah is a figure know and recognized by people of nearly all races, religions and nationalities. His story is an epic one that is ingrained in the hearts and minds of many. The intriguing part is that there is an incredible eighteen year gap in the narrative about which nothing is known.
The Bible tells of Jesus' immaculate conception, contains three separate accounts of his birth and multiple stories of his childhood leading to his eviction from the temple for speaking bag to the rabbi at age thirteen. There is nothing more until age thirty-one when he reappears gathering his disciples and the period before his famous death, resurrection and ascension. That is where this creative work of fiction picks up.
Pulling inspiration from the life of Jesus Christ, this is a fictional work about a man named Joshua whose tale begins as a 13 year old Jewish boy debating with rabbis in the temple. The author uses years of research and writings from the era to create a truly plausible scenario for those missing years. He has studied the lifestyles and likely economic situations of the people from that time period and has written characters that feel completely real.
The author has such a talent for descriptive writing that his work of fiction reads almost flawlessly as a biographical account. He tells the tale with such vivid detail, answering some of the more pressing questions concerning marriage, children, work and travel. The story takes place in multiple lands including those of Egypt, Babylon, Athens, Rome and still others before bringing him back to Israel.
Joshua travels the land spreading the teaching of God and standing up for those who could not stand for themselves. He teaches that no man is without sin and therefore has no right to condemn others. This is shown when he stops a group of accusing men from stoning a woman to death for actions they deemed sinful.
Among the best pieces of historical fiction, Joshua The Odyssey Of A Man is one tale fans of this genre would not want to miss. With characters that are so detailed they virtually leap off the page, the reader feels as if they are actually there. Though not a factual account, it is one of the more intricate works of speculation ever printed.
