Anathema is an admittedly iconoclastic historical-fiction portrayal of two obscure but profoundly influencial biblical characters named Jesus, but who was called Barabbas instead and, Judas [the Galilean] (not "Iscariot"), -set in ancient Judea of Palestine approximately 2,000 years ago. It is set narrated by 'Roland of Gaul' -a Roman military officer who sojourns the embattled region during the 'insurrection'; meets the 'Son of God' and, is instrumental in the arrest of the Jewish 'messiah' (under salacious circumstances -see Mk. 27:51-52). However, let me be quick to add that, although this provocative account of these historically 'documented' men and the controversial role each man played during 'those tumultuous days', -this literary work is not about, nor does it include any mention of, the yet literarily invented "Jesus Christ", -except as footnoted following.
