Rosh is a Zealot, which means that he wants to rid Israel of the Romans and establish once again a Jewish kingdom, as in the days of David and Solomon. He will go to any means to achieve this, even to the extent of risking his life.Jesus also wants to establish a kingdom, yet not a kingdom as Rosh envisions. His kingdom is beyond mere distinctions of Jewish/Roman. It is one of peace, not violence. It is one of bringing all people...

Daniel's relationship with Leah changes dramatically throughout the book. At the beginning of the book, Leah is completely dependent on those around her to take care of her because she has been so traumatized by her past. There is really no relationship between the siblings until Daniel returns home to help take care of her. Then the relationship becomes that of a caretaker and teacher as Daniel tries to bring Leah out of her shell. ...

Daniel had been working as essentially a slave for Amalek. (His grandmother had sold him.) He eventually escapes, and when he does, he flees to the mountains. He is living there first, then, because it isn't the town of Galilee. A related reason is that the Romans are in the town; they don't really occupy the hill country (though they pass through it). Eventually, he lives there because that's where Rosh and his group live, and he's living...

Daniel finally makes the break from Rosh when Joel is captured while doing what Rosh has ordered and Rosh refuses to do anything to try to rescue Joel. In fact Rosh shows absolutely no concern for Joel at all. Daniel becomes very angry and Rosh, in turn attacks Daniel for having a "soft streak." This is it for Daniel. He has finally seen that Rosh is just a selfish man who really attacks the Romans for his own glory not to...
