The Reign Of Terror is the second book in the series entitled The Way. It is a dramatic saga set in the second year of Christianity that takes place in A.D. 32 to 33. It picks up the story where Book #1, The Dawning Of A New Era, left off. It opens for you what life would have been like for those early Christians who lived through the traumatic events recorded in the Book of Acts. They were hated, persecuted, and hunted down because of their faith in Jesus of Nazareth. Under such persecution they struggled to go on with their romances, marriages, families, and jobs just as Christians do today. They were the Pathsetters - the first to set out upon the uncharted course of Christian life as ones in this world but not of this world. They set the example of fighting the good fight of faith amid all their trials.
Yet, they had their flaws and fears, their doubts and unanswered questions, their marital, family, and personal problems. A great many of them fled their homes in Jerusalem and ran to distant cities or far-off countries or hid as best they could from the Jewish chief priests and their agent of terror, Saul.
In this second book Caiaphas, the high priest, continues to be the cold, greedy, selfish, self-centered man of power.
His brother-in-law Joshua, another chief priest intent upon wiping out The Way, is also without any compassion and is greedy, as well as cruel and cold-blooded, taking advantage of his female slave and hating his own daughter Esther.
Esther, who is starved for some tenderness and love, continues to look for it in a young Christian man, John Mark, behind her father's back and in spite of the fear of what her father would do to them if he found out what they were doing. This all comes to a head after Esther's only friends, her father's slaves Unfortunate and Ishmael, become Christians, her father therefore sells them, and he himself is confronted by terror.
Saul continues in his hatred of Jesus and Jesus' followers, because he sees them undermining his beloved Phariseeism and the Judaistic faith of his Jewish forefathers. He is commissioned by Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin to hunt down the followers of Jesus in Jerusalem. He is to arrest them, put them in chains, and imprison them where they will be forced to renounce their faith in Jesus or suffer the brutal consequences. This Saul does with great relish and determination to exterminate them all.
The apostle Peter and his wife Leah go on with their marriage in surroundings that make their marriage difficult for them. Leah continues to be prone to complaining, especially about their being childless. Their day of great joy comes only to be squelched by great tragedy .
Rhoda, the servant girl of Mary, the mother of John Mark, comes across a young woman named Rachel who has been raped and then disowned because of that. John Mark's mother helps the poor woman. Members of The Way seek to obtain justice for her with Tribune Aurelius, the Roman commander of the fortress Antonian, and with Pontius Pilate who is in Caesarea. This leads first to Rachel's disappointment and then to her enlightenment. Along the way there is a turn of events that finally give her a glimmer of hope.
All of the above take place in the midst of Saul's hunting down every believer that he can arrest and have put to death. The followers of Jesus are scurrying around to find a safe place where they can hide and live. Their manner of having to live is most wretched. The apostles are led to an unlikely place in which to live for the duration of the deadly persecution. Many of The Way join them but under the strictest limitations.
Start now to read this interesting, entertaining, dramatic historical Christian novel, The Reign Of Terror, that does have a happy ending. It will enable you to immerse yourself in the scenes, times, and lives of the early Christian Pathsetters in Jerusalem known as The Way.
