ABOUT BOOK: At the trial of Christ, Theophilus, brilliant young assessore raised in the Roman aristocracy, stands behind Pontius Pilate and whispers, “Offer to release Barabbas.” The strategy backfires, and Theophilus never forgets the sight of an innocent man unjustly suffering the worst of all possible deaths—Roman crucifixion.
When he returns to Rome, Theophilus must prove himself in the legal ranks of the Roman Empire. He endures the backstabbing intrigue of the treason trials and the attempts of a cruel tyrant to control the woman he loves. But his struggle for revenge leaves a stain on both the empire and his own troubled soul.
Ultimately, he will face the most notorious Caesar, defending the man Paul in Nero’s deranged court. Can Theophilus mount a defense that will keep another innocent man from execution?
The Advocate’s first trial altered the course of history. His last will change the fate of an empire.

My Review:
The imagery in this book is amazing and at times I felt like I was reading out of the Bible or living in Biblical times. It amazes me that we have the Bible and such vivid stories. When a book like this comes along I wonder if Theophilus, and other main characters from The Bible, thought about the ramifications of his actions. If they thought that I would know what they did, or didn't do. This book really made me think and I would love to read other books from this author. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review from The Book Club Network Inc., however all opinions are my own.
