LUST AND REDEMPTION, SIN AND SALVATION—THE EPIC NOVEL OF A YOUNG ROMAN IN THE FLESHPOTS OF AN ANCIENT WORLD.

HE SAW HIS MOTHER BURNED AT THE STAKE

This soul-searching experience changed an innocent young Roman into a pleasure-seeking hedonist lusting for flesh. Yet, there was something about the new religion that obsessed him. What was it that made Christian martyrs go to their deaths with a smile on their lips?...

Christ had preached love; only through love could man be re-born. So it was that Damon set out in search of the answers to puzzling riddles about love and lust, the spirit and the flesh, barbarian pantheism and gentle Christianity…

The latest in Vardis Fisher’s TESTAMENT OF MAN series. ‘The most ambitious project in present-day fiction!’—The New York Herald Tribune

DAMON SOUGHT LOVE

—from Levilla, the beautiful young Christian, who withheld her ripe body from him;

—from Murdia, the sensualist, who knew how to arouse men with passionate abandon;

—from Ayla, the voluptuous dancing girl, whose cloying movements invited a strange relationship;

—from the father he never knew; from the religion he yearned to believe in...

Here is the fascinating odyssey of a young Roman who sated himself in the dissolute world of the First Century...until he finally found the goal of his quest for love in a new and sublime experience.
