The Robe.

The Robe.
- Hardcover
Lloyd Douglas's unforgetable story of a Roman military tribune, Marcellus Gallio who commands the unit that crucifies Jesus. After the crucifixion of Jesus, he wins Christ's robe in a game of dice. When a heavy rainstorm begins, he orders his slave Demetrius to cover him with the robe but, as soon as the cloth touches him, Marcellus cries in agony that it is burning him, taking back the robe the slave calls him a murderer and curses him before running away with the robe. Marcellus is haunted by nightmares and mental instability that arise from that event and eventually he leads a group of Christians against Rome only to be caught, labeled a traitor and sentenced to death. Even facing death he continues to refuse to renounce his "King Jesus" or publicly renounce his religion. An awe-inspiring story of one man's faith. The book "The Robe" was made into a major blockbuster motion picture starring Richard Burton, Victor Mature & Jean Simmons in an all-star cast in 1953.
