The Robe

The Robe is Lloyd C. Douglas's New York Times bestseller about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ — and the Roman soldier seeking redemption for his role in it.

A Roman soldier, Marcellus, wins Christ's robe as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene's robe-a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity and is set against the vividly limned background of ancient Rome. Here is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption.
