Book Review by: Lusitania    

Original Authors: Francisco Cândido Xavier; Emmanuel
This abstract was translated from Há 2000 anos...
Psychological definition of the medium Francisco Candido Xavier about one of the re-encarnations of Emmanuel, his spiritual
mentor, romanced and adapted to the Jesus Christ age. The roman senator Publio Lentulus Cornelius life, senators and consuls descendant, whose heredity granted him the legislative title. A man proud of his social position, caring father however, desperate by his little daughter's illness, Flavia Lentulia, whose diagnose was inaccurate and the inexistant treatment for the science of those days. His wife, Livia, sensitive soul dedicated to her family, valorous woman and contradict to the futilities and excessive luxuries of the time. Flaminio Severus, also senator and friend, suggests to Publio to travel with the family to resting place in Palestine. In search for a better climate for Flavia's health recovery, the Cornelius leave Rome, with the assistance of trustworthy servants and slaves, travel across the region, passing through Jerusalem and Nazareth until they establish in the surroundings of Cafarnaum, Galilea. There, the family takes acknowledgement, through the local inhabitants, about Jesus Christ lessons, cures and miracles. After a touching request from the little Flavia, with the encouragement of Livia, the senator decides to search for the nazarene prophet, even going against his beliefs and family traditions. In that encounter, proud Publio faces deep emotions, unknown until then, and the master's edifying lessons put him upward God's love and justice, in a sublime opportunity of intimate reform. Within history, we know about the social imbalances and the moral fall of the time's civilizations, Poncio Pilatos' judgement and all of Christ's suffering in the Calvary. After Jesus' death and ressurection, it describes the birth of christianity and the hard battles of his followers that, many times, were thrown to the ferocious lions.
