The Centurion

Each of the first three Gospels calls attention to the Roman centurion–Longinus–who officiated at the Crucifixion, and it is through the life-changing story of this duty-bound soldier that Leonard Wibberley (author of The Mouse That Roared and himself a devout Catholic) achieves, with a shrewd appreciation of human motives, a thoroughly fresh interpretation of the Gospel story of Christ’s ministry and Passion.

“The Oldest Story Given Fresh Vigor.”– Los Angeles Times

★★★★★ “Wonderful book. It gives new insight into the life of Christ and how he influenced those around him. Sure, it’s a work of fiction, but it opens your mind into new possibilities. Just to mention one, the (possible) reasons for Judas betrayal, his rationalization of it. I really loved this book.”— Amazon Review
