In this poignant capstone to the trilogy, the man called Barabbas—infamous former thief, murderer and prisoner turned Christian—and his wife Chanah continue their mission of spreading the gospel across the known world as cauldrons of political and military chaos boil across the Roman Empire. Nero is increasingly erratic, and it’s only a matter of time before the sharp knives of imperial politics finish him off. Various successors vie for position. Who will strike first, and who will come out on top?

Meanwhile, the rebellion in Judea has intensified, the Jewish zealots exerting great influence over the minds of the people. General Vespasian and his son Titus aim to put a permanent end to the insurrection. How many lives will ultimately be sacrificed on the great altar of Jerusalem? Can the Jewish nation survive the fulfillment of Jesus’s prophecy? What will become of the Jewish Christians and the apostles and sisters who lead them? And where will Barabbas and his family find lasting peace?

4.0 out of 5 stars Adventures of a growing Church
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022
Further exciting tales of well-known New Testament characters and their fictitious offspring, as they travel the world, encouraging Christian believers and interacting with the powers-that-be.

We follow Paul of Tarsus, fleeing Rome through Upper Germany and Gaul to settle in Spain. The Roman ex-centurion Cornelius, accused of having helped Paul escape, appears before Emperor Nero, who comes over as reluctant, weak and much milder than popular history suggests. Cornelius is surprised to be pardoned, but is banished from the Empire. He manages to return to his family in Ethiopia, where he later hosts the eponymous reformed insurgent Barabbas, now a bishop, and his devout wife Chanah, whose son’s family have settled there. Leaving Africa, Barabbas, Chanah and their daughters go on to Armenia to support the young but thriving Church there. A later episode sees Barabbas in Britannia, where one of his daughters marries a converted Roman soldier, who had seen action in Judea under Vespasian’s son, General Titus, but conscientiously objected to the total annihilation of the rebel Jewish population of Jerusalem. A startling moment is the revelation that the Ethiopian patriarch G’Haran was one of the legendary Magi, who visited the Christ child shortly after his birth.

The narrative is racing, combining the tensions of persecution and hardship with lighter incidents of congenial fellowship among believers. We gain a picture of a vibrant group of Christians, who are both persistent in spreading their faith in the risen Jesus and caring in their dealings with others, whatever their religion. The characters are well-developed and come alive through M. D. House’s pen. However, certain details, such as the speed and extent of their travels and communication lines, or the sudden appearance of Paul’s estranged wife and family, seem somewhat far-fetched.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2022
What might have happened to the man called Barabbas, who was released to the crowds instead of Jesus…MD House does a beautiful job imagining the life of this man, who in gratitude became instrumental in the early first generation church, echoing around the known world. As a historian, I appreciated the level of detail, not too much and not too little, but just enough to put readers in time and place. We understand the era was fraught with violence, but we’re never dealt more than fits the moment.

In a book about the early Christian movement, the author does spend a great amount of space expounding on matters of faith, the missionary excursions, the introduction and practice of Christianity. I felt this was a loving and beautiful tribute to what could have been. It’s the end of the first exciting generation of Christianity, and in some ways it feels like the mighty men are aging tired old folks, but the sense of excitement, of passing on faith to the next generation, is surely alive and well. I very much appreciate the constant mention of the importance of women in service and teaching and preaching. One sentence taken out of context from Paul surely did a disservice all the way down through thousands of years of the faithful, and I am grateful to the author for clarifying the record.

One special quote helps us bond with Barabbas and puts his life into perspective: “Timothy gave me a knowing look, and a window opened into why Paul held Timothy in such high regard. ‘Brother Barabbas, the Lord has spared you from such things so you could fulfill your part in his plans. Peter, Paul, and Cornelius all have their parts, too. They’re different, and while they appear more challenging, I’m not sure they are. We are poor judges of such things.’”

Told in back and forth chapters between Barabbas’s first person and the other saints in third person, House brings the early Christian era to life through dedicated research, lively characterization, and deft dialog. I hadn’t read the first two books, though I would like to, and this story stands on its own merits. I received a copy from the author. The Barabbas Legacy is a beautiful addition to the profusion of historical, early Christian church literature and faithful to biblical and historical accounts.
