LEWIS BEN SMITH is a pastor, schoolteacher, historian, and enthusiastic Indian artifact collector. A lifetime of studying New Testament and Roman history inspired his deep interest in the origins of our New Testament. One day in 2012, he began writing notes during a chapel service that became the outline of his first novel, The Testimonium, published in August 2014. Since then, he has written three more novels, including the prequel to this work, The Redemption of Pontius Pilate, and a sequel to The Testimonium titled Matthew's Autograph. He lives with his wife, Patricia, and a small menagerie of miscellaneous animals in Greenville, Texas, where he hopes that he will one day sell enough books to buy a lake house, retire from teaching, and spend his golden years hunting arrowheads and writing more books like this one. Your purchase will greatly help expedite that process!
