James Allen Moseley
“Judaea was not a forgotten backwater in the Roman world. Jews represented about ten percent of the population of the western empire and about twenty percent of the population of the eastern empire. By comparison, Jews represent only about two per cent of the population of the United States today. Never, since the fall of Judah to Babylon in the sixth century BC until the twentieth century had Jews comprised so large a part of any body politic.”
James Allen Moseley, Biographies of Jesus' Apostles: Ambassadors in Chains

“All across the mission, dozens of horror stories were being written.
I just had to deal with mine.”
Jason Fox, Battle Scars: A Story of War and All That Follows
