Joshua: The Odyssey of an Ordinary Man
by Theckedath M. Mathew MD
This is a philosophical religious fiction, which will make you think about your beliefs.
This is a story of a curious 13-year-old boy Joshua. The story starts with the eviction of Joshua when he asked some questions to his Rabbi (a spiritual leader). Later he witnessed the barbaric execution of his cousin Rachel by stone death because her in-laws were convinced that she is not a virgin before marrying their son. He got devastated by this incident. Then he starts his journey to discover the true meaning of life and beliefs. On his journey, he met with many great philosophers of Galilee, Egypt, Rome, Greece, Babylon, etc.
I feel it a transformation journey of a 13-year-old boy to a 30-year-old philosopher. this is my first religious fiction, but I found it good. I got stunned by reading the atrocities against women in the name of religion. The writing style is simple and easily understandable.
Overall, it is a heartfelt, philosophical read.
