The Robe
The Robe | Lloyd C. Douglas
8 posts | 11 read | 7 to read
A Roman soldier, Marcellus, wins Christ's robe as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene's robe-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.

I'm not sure how many of you will be interested in April's #RandomClassic as it does center around Christianity, although I'm not sure I would exactly call it a religious book. Historical fiction published in 1942, this book topped the best seller list for months. The main story is about one of the Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus and his journey, but there are a lot of other threads woven in. If anyone wants to read along, let me know!!

TheAromaofBooks @CatLass007 - Oh bummer!! It's an older book so it's very inexpensive on Kindle if that's an option for you. 1w
TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead - I read it way back in the mists of time, like maybe in high school, and actually remember it being rather adventurous, kind of romantic in the old-school sense of the word haha But the chapters are looonnnngg!!!! 1w
CatLass007 I can‘t read ebooks because of eye strain. I wanted to listen to the audiobook but that‘s the one with the months-long wait. @TheAromaofBooks (edited) 1w

Librarybelle I‘ll pass on this one - have not read the book, but I‘ve seen the movie! The Sister who taught my Latin classes in high school was all about Hollywood films like this. 😂 I am planning to come back for May‘s book! 1w

I was visiting the family farm today and brought back some of my childhood favourites. We had the complete Arch Books library when I was little. Alas many of them were destroyed in subsequent floods, along with my children‘s Bible. These three were all that were left.

LeahBergen I have that same edition of Candy Floss ❤️ 4y

There is an entire literary genre that I think of as "Books that could be improved by an invasion of giant killer robots." And dear sweet gods of bestsellers past does this book ever scream for robotic rescue from talky tedium.

It's better than the movie, but only just.

swynn @aimeesue Perfect! If they'd shown up on page 150 or so, this book would have rocked out loud. 5y
