TODAY IN PARADISE is a fictional story which presents a view of Jesus and his cultural context which is raw, confronting and inspiring through themes of youthful rebellion, mental distress, the place of sabbath, sexual identity, fidelity, and, centrally, a revolutionary view of the role of women in ancient middle eastern society, framed in an ancient literary style of inverted parallelism. Fans of well-researched historical fiction with confronting characters and themes are the target audience of ‘Today in Paradise.’ This book will appeal to adult readers seeking to understand the socio-cultural and religious tensions and motivations of ancient Palestine. Those readers whose Christian, Jewish, and Secular worldviews are open to imaginative discovery will be stimulated by this book.
