Read an Excerpt

Pilate brought Jesus forward to the balustrade. He stepped back so Jesus stood alone, a pitiful, solitary figure. Mordechai saw the red stripes on the prisoner's shoulders. And yet his head was high and his eyes, though dark with pain, were clear; they showed no signs of madness, a common result of a thorough scourging.

Gradually, when neither man on the balcony moved or said anything, the crowd subsided. When it was finally quiet, Pilate straightened and held out one hand, pointing to Jesus. "Behold the man!" he called out loudly.

For a moment, the people gave no response as every eye looked up. Mordechai, sensing an opportunity, tipped his head back. "Crucify him!" he shouted.

Editorial Reviews

"Lund finishes his epic Kingdom and the Crown series with Behold the Man , following Fishers of Men, and Come unto Me...Characters from the first two volumes, concerned with Roman oppression and Zealot rebellion, appear also in the conclusion, which is the story of the final days of Jesus’ ministry, his trial and crucifixion, and his resurrection...Despite its monumental length, it zips right along...It belongs in public libraries everywhere."—Booklist (Starred review)
