1896 was a sobering year for black men and women in Africa and America fighting to maintain their freedom. It was also a year of great upheaval in Africa where the anti-colonial struggle was made worse by disease; famine and mass starvation. This novel takes us back to these turbulent times depicting events that took place in 1896 and the actions of prominent figures who played a critical role in them.

Review
18 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Christian view of TorahBy CERThis book has some interesting approaches to the writings of Apostle Paul. Gaston has made his own translations of difficult sections of Romans and Galatians. These contain subtle adjustments; and he is correct in asserting the bias all translations bring to the table. He has numerous suggestions on passages like 2 Cor 3 and Galatians 4 that fit aspects of those passages better than other views I've encountered. The Paul was a Jew and continued to respect Torah is clear. But he didn't urge gentiles to observe it; on the contrary he said they should not. We're left with two distinct branches of one faith. I would also suggest writings of John Gager and Mark Nanos in the same vein. More academic are those of John Sanders.
