Talmid - The Book of John

By W. R. Sander

tal-mid, pl. (tal-mid-im); an indentured apprentice-student of a Rabbi; a student studying under discipline- hence "disciple" rather than merely "student."

Set in the first-century, three longtime friends find themselves on opposing sides when a mysterious stranger comes to their hometown of K'far-Nachum and sets in motion events that will change the world.

John, a twelve-year old who has a gift to memorize Scripture quickly, comes to the attention of the local priests, and together they deal with the stranger, a man called Yochanan the Immerser, who is baptizing townspeople in the local river in defiance of the established religious order.

Just when they successfully silence this "prophet," another even more formidable opponent from Natzeret comes to town, and takes John and his friends from their small town to Herod's Palace, Yerushalayim and finally to a small hill called Gulgota.
