Isaac Stenson marks his entry in the publishing scene with the release of 'Beyond the Galilee'
TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Isaac Stenson delves into the untold aspects of early Christianity in his debut book "Beyond the Galilee" (published by Trafford Publishing).
"Recently discovered and vetted documents about the early years of Christianity reveal that the historical Jesus, a holy and devout Jew, was human. He came with a mission to teach us that the Kingdom of Heaven was within each of us. These documents precede in time the canonical gospels," the author states.
This historical fiction follows Jesus as an ordinary person who lives near the Roman city of Caesarea consisting of diverse population of Jews, Romans, Greeks and Canaanites. There, Jesus meets Mary Magdalene, a Canaanite priestess, whom he marries as described in the Gospel of John as the marriage at Cana. Readers then see Jesus driving out seven demons from Mary Magdalene — that is a metaphor for Jesus revealing to her the seven cardinal sins of pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. He shares with her the seven capital virtue of faith, justice, prudence, hope, temperance, fortitude, and charity.
"Beyond the Galilee" is a thought-provoking read that offers readers a fresh perspective on the roots of their faith. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, the author states, "A better understanding of the history of early Christianity."
