The Silver Chalice

Set in the first century, the novel follows Basil of Antioch, a talented Greek artisan commissioned by the Apostle Luke to craft a decorative silver casing to protect the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper. As Basil travels across the Mediterranean to sketch the faces of the Apostles, he encounters persecution, the decadence of Nero's Rome, and the sinister sorcery of Simon Magus, ultimately leading him to personal faith. Through dramatic adventures and a tender romance, the story vividly dramatizes the struggles and devotion of the early Christian church.
