Originally I got this book in the hopes that I would get some genealogy information out of it. It was really an interesting book that really explained a lot of the history of the region at the time. There was so much in this book that shocked me. It was a real eye opener, highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this period in history or anyone interested in reading about civil rights and religious liberty.

Una lectura lenta y por momentos densa, pero que presenta algunos pasajes de gran lirismo y diálogos de mucha intensidad. Una interesante integración del relato de los evangelios sobre la vida y enseñanzas de Cristo con la cultura e historia clásicas. Por momentos se percibe claramente la influencia de la Divina Comedia de Dante.

Dare inicio a esta lectura. Donde de forma épica hace resaltar a Dios y el camino de Cristo a la cruz.
