The Adventure Of Joshua The Odyssey

By Amanda Baird


There are several points throughout history that have never been clearly explained. This leaves a lot of room for people to generate speculation and create their own versions of what might have actually happened. Joshua The Odyssey Of A Man is a novel in which the author takes an important period of time about which very little fact is known, and weaves an exciting tale of probability.

The Christian Holy Bible contains some of the most popular historical stories ever told. Unfortunately, there are large gaps between them that often leaves readers curious and trying to figure out what might have happened at those points. This is the case with the tale of a man who is the central personality of the entire second half of the tome.

Jesus Christ, the man from Galilee, the son of God, the one who died for the sins of all, is a major figure of all history and is known in some way by the majority of people no matter their religion, race or country of origin. His is a story that has been told and retold and is very dear to the hearts of many. The 18 missing years of his life have been the subject of many theories.

The Bible is the premier authority on the life of Jesus Christ, starting with his unique conception story and ending with his death, return and rise into the heavens above. The mystery is the span of time between ages thirteen and thirty-one in which there is no mention of the man or his actions. It is this window that inspired Dr. Theckedath Mathew, MD to pen his incredible work of fiction.

Pulling inspiration from the life of Jesus Christ, this is a fictional work about a man named Joshua whose tale begins as a 13 year old Jewish boy debating with rabbis in the temple. The author uses years of research and writings from the era to create a truly plausible scenario for those missing years. He has studied the lifestyles and likely economic situations of the people from that time period and has written characters that feel completely real.

Dr. Theckedath Mathew, MD, the author, has created a brilliant piece of fictional that is so wonderfully written that it is very easy to forget that it is not an actual biographical account. He unravels a quite detailed life answering some long pondered questions such as whether or not Jesus ever took a wife or fathered children. This tale covers travels to many lands including Rome, Athens, Babylon, Egypt and others.

Like the person he is modeled after, the title character spreads the word of God and stands up for the rights of those unable to defend themselves. His encounter with a group of angry men who wanted his blessing to stone a woman to death for sinning shows that he was one of the first proponents for better treatment for women. He stops them and teaches the lesson against judging others.

Being heralded as perhaps the most well written works based on historical events, Joshua The Odyssey Of A Man is a leader in the genre. Each character, every location is so vividly described that the reader feels as if they are actually in the story. As close to fact as fiction can get, everything in this book has been meticulously created to come together as a momentous tale of speculation.
