Gut: What role will Barabbas play in The Shadow of the Galilean?
Spill: The Shadow of the Galilean is not fascinating on the same level as Harry Potter (in my opinion), but after reading the first 3 chapters I already find myself wanting the protagonist to prevail over Pilate's blackmail tactics. I really don't even know very much about Andreas, and I am already on his side. The character that intrigues me the most though is Barabbas. Why must their acquaintance be kept such a secret? Wasn't Barabbas the name of the murderer who was set free while Jesus was taken prisoner? Andreas talks about how he does not share the same religious views as Barabbas although they studied in the wilderness with the same teacher. I would like to know more about this Barabbas character and if his name holds any significance to the role he is to play in the book.
Alright, i'll comment first and get my percentage points. i am in full agreement with all the above, even the harry potter statement. could this possible be the same barabbas that was released instead of Jesus? what is Andreas' role in Pilate's schemes? very well written.
