For The Temple (Illustrated): A Tale of The Fall of Jerusalem

by G. A. Henty

Overview

For The Temple is the action-packed tale of the last days of the Temple at Jerusalem. Robber bands and political infighting led to Rome's destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Despite overwhelming odds, John of Gamala does his best to save the Temple, harassing work parties, burning camps and defending Jerusalem during the Roman siege. His personal battle with Titus himself in hand-to-hand combat resulted in a relationship with the Roman leader that lasts until after the war. In spite of fighting a losing battle, John keeps his integrity and honor intact.
