For the Temple is G. A. Henty's historical adventure novel set during the Jewish revolt against Rome and the destruction of Jerusalem. The story follows John of Gamala, a young Jewish hero drawn into the struggle for his people's survival as Roman power advances and Jerusalem moves toward catastrophe. Henty combines military action, siege warfare, loyalty, courage, and historical instruction in the narrative style that made his books staples of nineteenth-century adventure reading for young people.
Set in the first century and centred on one of the defining conflicts of the ancient world, For the Temple belongs to Henty's long series of historical adventures designed to make history vivid through character and action. For readers of classic juvenile fiction, historical adventure, ancient history, Roman history, homeschool literature, and traditional boys' adventure stories, this novel offers a dramatic introduction to the Jewish War, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Jerusalem.
