- Summary:
- The God-Story covers six centuries of Jewish history, from the Babylonian exile to the destruction of the Second Temple, in 15 stories, each centered around a historical event. All the stereotypical Jewish characters of the era, some historical, others fictional, both men and women, grapple with changing views of God, Torah, and the attraction of Hellenism. The narrator, Leontius, weaves the stories into an organic saga that answers the ancient call to be a Jew and worship the Most High God.
