The latest release in the Christian Epic series is an exciting novel that takes place shortly after Christ's death and resurrection. Basil is called to design the case which will hold the silver cup that Christ and His disciples drank from at the Last Supper, and plans to sculpt their likenesses upon it. As he seeks out these followers of Christ, he encounters grave danger.

This is my second reading of this book. I read it many, many years ago as a very young, naive woman I was moved and impressed by it then. Now as an old, far less naive woman, I am still moved, if somewhat less impressed by the book. The characters are well fleshed out and completely believable. The narrator does a magnificent job portraying all the characters. His myriad number of voices and ability to remember each voice for each character is truly masterful.
Excellent, well told story

What disappointed you about The Silver Chalice?
It was very unBiblical. It included praying to angels, being visited by dead relatives, a heavenly 'score sheet' where it was important for good deeds to outweigh bad, the importance of making an image of Christ (hello idolatry!), and several other issues. That was up to chapter 26. Maybe things changed later, but it wasn't something I could listen to with a clear conscience.Would you be willing to try another book from Thomas B. Costain? Why or why not?
Probably not. If The Silver Chalice is any indicator of his beliefs, then I would rather not fill up on false teachings.How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narration was not great. I've heard much better. His voices were strange and it was hard to get into the book. Most of the older men's voices were harsh and abrasive. It didn't seem realistic.You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The plot is quite interesting and I would love to have seen where it was going, but I don't want to listen to unBiblical concepts presented without dispute. It would be one thing if when Basil prayed to an angel and believed his prayer was answered by that angel and Luke, the Gospel writer, corrected his mistake. Instead, he endorses the young man's views and prayers! Really? And the author has Paul endorsing a graven image of Christ, himself, and the other disciples. Hardly likely!Any additional comments?
If you are looking for historical fiction that is Biblically sound, check out When Jesus Wept and Take this Cup by the Thoene family, The Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers, or even The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas. Those are better choices.I wanted to like it
