The Big Fisherman
Synopsis
The dramatic fictionalized story of Simon Peter, from his first meeting with Christ, to his conversion and on through to Peter's death by crucifixion, set on the shores of Galilee, the crossroads of the world--a polyglot world of quarreling, scheming people, warring then as it is today. The author of The Robe takes us on a journey to discover the intertwined stories of Simon, the Big Fisherman, two-fisted and profane, who lays down his nets in a momentous act of faith; young princess Fara, half Judean and half Arabian, bent on an errand of vengeance to assassinate her Jewish father, Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee; and Voldi, the young Arabian prince who takes up her vendetta when Fara is purged by an encounter with Jesus of her hate.
