These stories are inspired by persons who appear in the Gospels for only a few sentences. It imagines the drama of their encounter with a founder of a world religion at the time of the Roman Empire. Internal worlds are opened up, including a soldier who guards the dead, a madman who lives among tombs, a woman who battles demons, and Levianthan, a storm which would take the founder's life. What surprises us more than 2,000 years later is how much heart and fierce love is present in the lives of these characters.
