The Robe

by Lloyd C. Douglas

Overview

The New York Times Bestseller, Lloyd C. Douglas's The Robe is the classic novel about the Roman soldier Marcellus, who wins Jesus Christ's robe as a gambling prize after the crucifixion — and the basis for the Academy Award-nominated film starring Richard Burton.

After acquiring Christ's Robe, Marcellus then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene's garment — a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity and is set against the vividly limned background of ancient Rome.

Here is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption.
