Kingdom 12: Additional information

Well, episode 11 ends Part II and thus ends the original first edition of "Of Such Is The Kingdom, A Novel of Biblical Times." But, as you may well be aware, some questions still remain to be answered. Did Claressa embrace Manaheem's new-found faith? What happened to the bereaved family of Benjamin? Did Joseph, the oldest son get to go to Rabbi school? Did Barabbas continue to follow the master and did his wife and children join him? And was Pontius Pilate able to forget about his decision to crucify Jesus and did he become the strong ruler his wife wanted him to be? These and other questions are answered in the newly written Part III of the newly revised and expanded "Of Such Is The Kingdom, A Novel of Biblical Times," and here the author alludes to some of the answers as he previews Part III and gives information as to where it can be obtained as an e-book by itself or as part of the revised edition either in print or e-book. The author does not intend to offer it here or to expand this audio version.
