About this listen

Six lives. One moment. The world changed forever.

Jerusalem — a city on edge. Empires collide, faiths clash, and one execution will alter the fate of the world.

But this isn’t the story you think you know.

In The Roads to Golgotha, the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth forms the backdrop to an epic human drama. Through the eyes of six ordinary people, we witness history unfolding — not in prophecy or miracle, but in duty, politics, and survival.

Two rulers — Caiaphas, the high priest guarding tradition, and Pilate, the governor torn between power and conscience.

Two soldiers — Shmuel, the temple guard caught between loyalty and fear, and Cornelius, a Roman centurion bound by honor.

Two spies — Judah ben Simon, driven by belief, and Simonius the Praetorian, ruled by ambition.

Each walks a different road to Golgotha — unaware that their choices, made in the shadow of a cross, will echo through eternity.

The Roads to Golgotha is not a tale of saints or sinners, but of people — flawed, faithful, and human — standing at the heart of history’s most extraordinary moment.

Fantastic descriptions of people and places. Awful sense of inevitability of what awaited characters I got to lknow and like. Highly recommend

Incredibly realistic settings. I could feel the heat and smell the desert

Brilliantly researched and well told story steeped in historical accuracy. Very cleverly developed story drawing on good knowledge of history and culture in a Rome dominated Palestine of the 1st Century. Narration is fantastic too with perfect diction, intonation and cadence. I thoroughly recommend it. Fabulous!!

As with his Dark Age ‘Twilight Saga’, the author has really done his homework, weaving historical detail and great storytelling into an immersive listen.

What really stands out is the perspective, with the Crucifixion being seen through the eyes of local politicians and security forces, flipping the traditional perspective and giving the story a fresh angle that had a surprisingly timely and relevant feel.

The narrative is in two distinct parts. The first half is deliberately paced and much more cinematic, allowing you to settle into the characters and their worlds. Once they all arrive in Jerusalem, the tempo quickens and events begin to unfold rapidly, creating real narrative momentum.

This is one of those audiobooks that rewards patience and attention. A real gem, stick with it, and you won’t be disappointed.
