Capturing and reimaging the events that led up to Jesus’ death – ‘Claudia’ by renowned biblical fiction author Diana Wallis Taylor is the combination of impeccable historical research, a flair for the dramatic and a passion for faith inspiring fiction.
Her life began as the illegitimate daughter of Julia, the exiled daughter of Caesar Augustus. This meant Claudia’s childhood was confined within a guarded villa with her mother and grandma. So when Tiberius dethrones the Emperor, Claudia’s fortunes change and she finds herself living in the palace in Rome.
Now a young women, Claudia wonders through life with little concern until she meets Lucius Pontius Pilate. Swept off her feet she marries the man and follows him to his new position as the Prefect of war torn Judea. Amidst the rebellion, corruption and political unrest, the teachings of a Jewish Rabbi captivate her mind and heart as she discovers something bigger then herself.
Claudia's life did not start easily. The illegitimate daughter of Julia, reviled and exiled daughter of Caesar Augustus, Claudia spends her childhood in a guarded villa with her mother and grandmother. When Tiberius, who hates Julia, takes the throne, Claudia is wrenched away from her mother to be brought up in the palace in Rome. The young woman is adrift-until she meets Lucius Pontius Pilate and becomes his wife. When Pilate is appointed Prefect of the troublesome territory of Judea, Claudia does what she has always done: she makes the best of it. But unrest is brewing on the outskirts of the Roman Empire, and Claudia will soon find herself and her beloved husband embroiled in controversy and rebellion. Might she find peace and rest in the teaching of the mysterious Jewish Rabbi everyone seems to be talking about?
Readers will be whisked through marbled palaces, dusty marketplaces, and idyllic Italian villas as they follow the unlikely path of a woman who warrants only a passing mention in one of the Gospel accounts. Diana Wallis Taylor combines her impeccable research with her flair for drama and romance to craft a tale worthy of legend.
