I have not read this but I certainly plan to. I recently re-read “The Robe” by Lloyd Douglas which is a fictionalized account of the Roman centurion who is charged with carrying out the crucifixion and wins Jesus’ robe in the game of dice at the foot of the cross. He returns to Palestine incognito a year later and spends time with the people who had encountered Jesus up close and personal; he is even present for the stoning of Stephen. It is a fascinating read. We need more writings like this that speculates and fleshes out the people and events in a more “realistic” way.
