The Centurion at the Tomb: A Short Story of Ancient Rome

The prophet's body has vanished, leaving the Roman centurion in a precarious position. The Roman court found the prophet guilty of both blasphemy and treason. Longinus was the centurion in charge. Did he abandon his post? Betrayed by his own men and accused of treason, Longinus must navigate political intrigue and religious persecution. Will he be able to clear his name? Who will be loyal to him? Will he deny his new faith? Will he run? Will Pilate please the Jewish establishment and execute him? Don't miss the suspense, drama, and emotion in this short story.

An incredible value, this eBook includes both the 9-page ancient historical fiction and a 2-page description of history and traditions about Pontius Pilate and the possibly-gay Longinus. This LGBTQ-affirming Christian fiction provides backstories of characters who also play a role in the author's Because She Was Called from Broken to Bold: A Novel of the Early Church.
