A portrait so moving and so eloquent I doubt it is paralleled elsewhere in literature. It is Caldwell’s greatest novel!” — Boston Herald
“Alive with the bustle of ancient times . . . Movingly reconstructs St. Luke’s search for God.” — The New York Times
"Magnificent! Taylor Caldwell, who has splendid powers of narration, unleashes them all in this, her finest novel. She has made St. Luke a real and believable man and recreated on a vast canvas the times and people of his day. You see as large as life all the glory and decadence of Rome and all the strife, turmoil and mysticism of Africa…. A glowing and passionate statement of belief!" —Columbus Citizen
