Galileans — Frank G. Slaughter

Life forever changes for Joseph of Galilee, a young physician, when he meets Mary of Magdala, a beautiful dancer bent on revenge against a haughty Roman officer, Gaius Flaccus. And then they both come face-to-face with Jesus of Nazareth and uncover a plot to kill him. Can they help? Should they?
A novel originally published in 1953, beautifully captures Biblical times and allows the reader to be drawn into the story, a story like none other, when God walked among men and women.
