When Claudia, the illegitimate daughter of Caesar Augustus, marries Pontius Pilate, Caesar appoints him to be prefect of the Judean territory. It’s a time of turmoil, intrigue, and murder, intensified by Jesus’s reputation for miraculous healings. Narrator Rebecca Gallagher captures the miraculous events and brewing unrest with textured depictions of the times. She powerfully portrays Claudia’s decision to take her young son to Jesus even though Pilate forbids it; she dares to believe Jesus will heal his club foot. Gallagher’s understated portrayal of the son’s healing and first steps is riveting. And her portrayal of Claudia’s fears when Pilate learns what she has done is perfectly rendered. Gallagher’s powerful delivery captures this obscure New Testament woman. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
In a time of turmoil, one woman will search for love and peace - and find it where she never expected.
Tugged this way and that by fate's indifferent hand, Claudia's life is adrift - until she meets Lucius Pontius Pilate and becomes his wife. When they move to the troublesome territory of Judea, she does what she has always done: makes the best of it. But unrest is brewing and Claudia will soon find herself and her beloved husband embroiled in controversy and rebellion. Might she find hope in the mysterious Jewish rabbi everyone seems to be talking about?
Let this epic story whisk you through marbled palaces, dusty marketplaces, and idyllic Italian villas as you follow the unlikely path of a woman who warrants only a passing mention in one of the Gospel accounts, but whose story, as told by Diana Wallis Taylor, is one worthy of legend.
