Description

"An outstanding historical novel.”—New York Times “This novel makes real . . . the whole world of the New Testament.”—Chicago Tribune “His theme is presented with an assurance and sweetness that is refreshing in a great novel.”—Christian Science Monitor The colorful, passionate world of early Christianity comes to vivid life in this story of Basil of Antioch. Basil, a sensitive artisan, is purchased from slavery and commissioned to create a decorative casing for the Chalice that Jesus used at the Last Supper. Basil travels to Jerusalem, Greece, and Rome, meets the apostles, braves the perils of persecution, and finally makes a fateful choice that allows him to “see” Jesus. The dramatic plot, compelling characters, and spiritual depth of The Silver Chalice made it one of the most popular historical novels of the twentieth century.

  1. Thanks for the James Herriot paperback books. I first read them when I was I high school and am enjoying thePBS series of All Creatures now, so I thought I’d get the books to read the originals again. The books are all in great condition, due to very good packing and they even arrived earlier than expected. Good communication all the way through. Great eBay seller! 📚👏🏻
