(Edwin Abbott) Philochristus: Memoirs of a Disciple of the Lord "Philochristus: Memoirs of a Disciple of the Lord" by Edwin Abbott Abbott is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book presents the imagined memoirs of an early disciple of Jesus Christ, named Philochristus, as he reflects on his life, upbringing, and the profound societal turmoil in Israel during the time of Jesus. It explores themes of faith, doubt, and the struggle for spiritual truth in a world rife with political oppression and moral decay. The opening of the narrative introduces Philochristus, who recounts his childhood in Galilee and the tragic events surrounding his family under Herod's reign. As a child, he witnesses the violent suppression of dissent and the worship of false gods, which shapes his fervent desire for a true Redeemer for Israel. He describes his rigorous upbringing in the Jewish law, reflects on the lack of hope among his teachers concerning the coming of a Messiah, and ultimately reveals his yearning for salvation. This portion establishes the historical and cultural backdrop against which Philochristus's personal journey of faith unfolds, highlighting the tension between traditional law and the emerging spiritual teachings that will come to define his life.
