It is the year AD 62. The notorious Roman emperor Nero orders Marco Junio Vitalis, a seasoned military general, to assist him in a most peculiar legal proceeding. Vitalis interrogates an elderly Jewish fisherman named Peter, who many years earlier had been a close friend of a man known as Jesus - the same Jesus condemned to death in Jerusalem by Pontius Pilate.

Loyal to the emperor, Vitalis determines to do everything in his power to expose the truth around this strange new religious sect before it undermines Roman rule. So it is, through the course of interrogation between veteran soldier and detainee, that a story emerges that will shake the very foundations of the Roman Empire.

Now making its first-ever appearance in English, this award-winning, meticulously researched Spanish best seller transports readers back to ancient Rome - to a culture far removed from ours yet with striking similarities, and to a time of tumultuous upheaval in which the stakes are high for followers of Christ.

These are the ONLY type of Historical CHRISTIAN Fiction books that I will read. Founded completely on the Absolute TRUTH of the GOSPEL.
I search and search for books like this. Books by Authors who KNOW the LORD, who have heard, and who Hear HIS voice, I'm glad- Happy even, to have discovered (more like Led to discover) this author.
Now I'm going to BUY the book he wrote about THE APOSTLE PAUL, AND READ IT with the PEACE OF MIND that I've NOT bought a book written by another heretical author that are popping up all over the place twisting and distorting the WORD OF GOD, exactly like the gnostic have been trying to do for two millennia
I Thank GOD for Authors who write Historical Fiction of the New / Old Testament the way it needs to be written. Based first on the SOLID TRUTH OF SCRIPTURE First and foremost, and then weave the story (or filling it) into the WORD

AWESOME AUTHOR, AWESOME BOOK, READ IT!!!

The Fisherman Testament (Audible Audio Edition) James Adams César Vidal Zondervan Books Reviews


There are many excellent reasons César Vidal is an international bestselling author, and "The Fisherman's Testament" is one of them.

In "The Fisherman's Testament," Señor Vidal blends superb storytelling with Scriptural truth into a powerful novelization of Mark's Gospel. Originally penned in Spanish, nothing is lost in translation in this novel that garnered the Martinez-Roca Spirituality Prize in 2004. Consider the first sentences of the novel for a flavor of the author and his main character

"I, Marcus Junius Vitalis, known amongst my men as the "Asiatic," veteran soldier in the service of Rome, faithful companion of Cæsar Claudius and Cæsar Nero, know that I have arrived at the last stretch of this winding and bitter path we call life. Others will live on, be it for a shorter or longer time, but my life is ending. Before I know it, it will be utterly extinguished, and I will find myself cast onto the shores of a different world."

It is from this perspective Vitalis relates his story of an encounter that upended his world view as a die-hard defender of Rome and staunch adherent to the ideals of the Empire, and framed his view of the "different world" now poised to receive him.

The setting is 62 AD Rome, in Nero's palace. The Emperor commissions Vitalis to investigate a neo-Jewish cult who profess to follow the "Christos." One of the last survivors of the original inner circle of the "Christos," a fisherman named Petros, is imprisoned in Rome. Nero decides to lead the prosecution personally to ascertain why this cult that calls itself "The Way" did not die out after the crucifixion of its leader 30 years earlier, as so many other rebellions had in the past--indeed, it continues to grow, its influence now reaching into even the capital city. Vitalis joins Nero in the interrogation and hears the tale from the mouth of Petros through Mark, his companion and translator. Nero and Vitalis walk away with completely divergent impressions of the story they've heard.

Only 167 pages, this is a `quick read'; however, its impact will linger long after you reach the back cover. While nothing can replace Scripture, The Fisherman's Testament is a worthy alternative text to recommend to someone who may never otherwise crack open the Bible. The power in hearing the Gospel is presented through the divinely inspired words of Petros and Mark, anticipated objections and misunderstandings of the message are delivered through the humanly understandable reactions of Nero and Vitalis, and the joy of reading excellent prose is delivered through the enviable literary skill of Señor Vidal. Tough combination to beat!
I loved the book. I also gave the book as a gift. I woudl recommend this book to anyone who loves history.
A compelling and beautifully written tale woven around the trial of Peter in Rome during the reign of the notorious emperor Nero
I'm teaching Christian Scriptures at a high school this semester, and this was the summer reading book for the kids. I was skeptical at first, but I thought it was very well written. It's very true to Mark's gospel. It takes the events of Mark's gospel and puts them into a narrative. It's historically accurate. The translation is brilliant. Overall, I would highly recommend this for any kid you're trying to get interested in the gospels and Jesus without overwhelming him or her.
Your books brought my mother great joy for her last few months on this earth Thanks!!!
I loved this book. It was such an easy and enjoyable read. It is set in first century Rome with most of the characters being actual historical figures and utilizing an accurate historical backdrop made it a captivating read. I believe anyone would find this book very enjoyable and if someone has a Christian worldview they may find it fascinating how the story was scripturally explained by the character portraying Peter the Apostle as he was being grilled in a Roman tribunal hearing by Caesar Nero. It is narrated by a fictional aging Roman General who reflects on the event at the end of his life as he was part of the tribunal. It is not a long book and it is a gripping yet easy read. Don't miss it!
