This novel was mainly aimed at adults, but I am only 16 and loved this book. The book was one of the best-selling titles of the 1940s. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene's robe-a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity and is set against the vividly limned background of ancient Rome. The ending of the story was perfect and way better than anything that I could have come up with, and anyone who is reading the book and gets to the end will also know why I think it was exceptional! There is some romance, but I don't think there is enough to classify it as a romance book. The Robe is a 1942 historical novel about the Crucifixion written by Lloyd C. A Roman soldier, Marcellus, wins Christ's robe as a gambling prize. These two men's conversion stories were excellent, and then the way that they lived their lives after was even more so. While he was with Marcellus learning about Christ, he was drawn to Him and knew Christianity to be true. Demetrious always thought about everything sensibly and was always looking for the truth. Demetrius was Marcellus's Greek slave who was captured from his wealthy family when he was young and sold to Marcellus. After his experience with Christ's robe, he changed his thinking and became an even better and holy man. Published in 1942, Lloyd Douglas's novel The Robe is the story of the spiritual journey of Marcellus, a young Roman aristocrat and soldier during the first century CE. ![]() ![]() Even before he came to know Christ, Marcellus was a good and pretty moral man who knew that Rome needed change or it would all fall apart. ![]() In The Robe, I had two favorite characters, Marcellus and Demetrius. ![]()
