About This Item
New York. 1985. October 1985. Arbor House. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0877957533. 379 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by David Gati. keywords: Literature England . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Like two of his earlier works, the long narrative poem MOSES and the novel MAN OF NAZARETH (together these books make up what has been referred to as his biblical or religious trilogy), Burgess wrote THE KINGDOM OF THE WICKED in part as preparation for a screenplay; in this case for the television series A.D. The story of the birth of Christianity and its interaction with the Roman Empire is told largely chronologically by a narrator slowly succumbing to disease during the reign of Domitian. The story starts where Man of Nazareth ended, immediately after the crucifixion of Jesus, and covers the work of the apostles, in particular Paul, the development of Christianity as an Abrahamic religion separate from Judaism, the Great Fire of Rome, the persecution of Christians, the destruction of the Second Temple, and the destruction of Pompeii. inventory #8299 ISBN: 0877957533.
