Summary
Louis de Wohl: The Spear
The action of this impressive novel about the last days of Christ reaches from the palaces of imperial Rome to the Judean hills and Jerusalem - where the conflict of love and betrayal, revenge and redemption, reaches a powerful climax in the drama of the Crucifixion. This is a shocking story about the world's most dramatic execution, about the way it affected one of its least known participants - the man who plunged the spear into Christ on the Cross.
Numerous critics rated this novel about the Roman centurion Cassius Longinus as one of the best Christian literary works. The author himself, the prominent novelist Louis de Wohl (1903-1961), whose novels are still bestsellers around the world and sell millions of copies, considered Koplje the most significant work in his literary career.
