There are several points throughout history that have never been clearly explained. This leaves a lot of room for people to generate speculation and create their own versions of what might have actually happened. Joshua The Odyssey Of A Man is a novel in which the author takes an important period of time about which very little fact is known, and weaves an exciting tale of probability.
The many adventures in the Holy Bible are some of the most well known tales of all time. There are several points at which huge chunks of time are skipped over entirely, leaving readers to wonder what happened while nothing was being recorded. One such episode involves a man who is perhaps the most popular historical figure ever.
Jesus Christ, the man from Galilee, the son of God, the one who died for the sins of all, is a major figure of all history and is known in some way by the majority of people no matter their religion, race or country of origin. His is a story that has been told and retold and is very dear to the hearts of many. The 18 missing years of his life have been the subject of many theories.
The Bible is the official account of Jesus' life and it begins with his immaculate conception, his birth and continues on until his 13th year when he is removed from the temples for contradicting the teachers. He then disappears until age 31, picking up with his teachings and the events leading up to his infamous crucifixion, his celebrated resurrection and his amazing ascension into Heaven.
Renaming the title character Joshua, the author continues the story from the point where a thirteen year old Jesus is removed from the temple after an issue with the rabbi. Dr. Mathew uses other period writings along with some intense social and economical research on the era in order to bring to life a story filled with believable personalities. He manages to virtually transport the reader back nearly 2,000 years.
Dr. Theckedath Mathew, MD, the author, has created a brilliant piece of fictional that is so wonderfully written that it is very easy to forget that it is not an actual biographical account. He unravels a quite detailed life answering some long pondered questions such as whether or not Jesus ever took a wife or fathered children. This tale covers travels to many lands including Rome, Athens, Babylon, Egypt and others.
Like the person he is modeled after, the title character spreads the word of God and stands up for the rights of those unable to defend themselves. His encounter with a group of angry men who wanted his blessing to stone a woman to death for sinning shows that he was one of the first proponents for better treatment for women. He stops them and teaches the lesson against judging others.
Among the best pieces of historical fiction, Joshua The Odyssey Of A Man is one tale fans of this genre would not want to miss. With characters that are so detailed they virtually leap off the page, the reader feels as if they are actually there. Though not a factual account, it is one of the more intricate works of speculation ever printed.
