Dr. Theckedath Mathew Dedicates His New Novel to the Millions of Women Who Are Cut, Mutilated, Stoned, Burned and Buried Alive in the Name of Gods and Prophets
(PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- Joshua: The Odyssey of an Ordinary Man is truly a remarkable work of historical fiction adapted after Jesus of Nazareth (Circa, 1-33 AD), and is the story of a thirteen year old Jewish boy from Galilee, who grew up to be the most talked about person who ever lived.
Many of his believers said he was the Son of Man, who lived for the sinners and the downtrodden, died on a cross, was resurrected and ascended to heaven. Historian and biblical scholar, John Dominic Crossan, one of Joshua’s critics said, “Joshua was a common criminal, condemned for a cross and his body devoured by dogs.”
Who was this man named Joshua? Who told the truth about this remarkable individual?
As a small boy of thirteen, Joshua was evicted from the temple for questioning a rabbi. Shortly afterwards, he began an incredible eighteen year odyssey that took him to Galilee, Egypt, Rome, Athens, Babylon, Taxila, Mathura and eventually back to Israel. Joshua’s journey allowed him access to the writings of the great thinkers and philosophers of his time.
Readers are rewarded by learning about the everyday life of the characters and Joshua during his eighteen year odyssey. Women will learn how incensed Joshua was over the cruelty of men and religious sects against women.
Stoning, honor killings (biblical honor killings) and many other atrocities against women in Jesus’ times are explicitly revealed. Jesus of Nazareth is the first man – the first prophet ever who fought for women’s rights. He stood amidst of a ring of men with stones in their hands and a harlot in the middle ready to be stoned. Women were subject to genital mutilations, stoning, bride burning, Sathi and honor killings. These atrocities continue today more violently than ever.
There are many myths and missing pages in the bible. Joshua: The Odyssey of an Ordinary Man meticulously brings back to the secret life of Jesus, the eighteen unknown years of Jesus’ adolescent and early life as the historical Jesus is unearthed. Was Jesus married? Did Jesus father a child? Who were Jesus’ teachers? What lands did Jesus travel?
Narrated in the most captivating style, along with a detailed description of the many nations he traveled, details Joshua’s life, his struggles and challenges in a manner never written before. A novel of epic proportions, an absolute must read.
