In 2005, a real archeological find was uncovered inside one of Israel's top security jails-a large and superbly preserved mosaic featuring two images of a fish with a Greek inscription referring to the "Lord Jesus Christ." Gralin W. Buratt has used his considerable imagination and understanding of the dangerous transition required of early Jewish families who were learning about and subsequently worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ. He describes an early Roman pogrom (massacre) in the first century against Jewish Christians in Antioch, southern Turkey. With careful attention to historical and religious context, the author has produced a sensitive and dramatic fictional account of what might, indeed, have led to the reverse exodus from Antioch to Israel by wealthy Jewish Christians who financed the fine place of worship, a synagogue/church whose mosaic floor celebrates the glorious symbol known only to those who followed the sign of the fish to a place of safety and thanksgiving.
