The Silver Chalice
Author: Thomas B. Costain
Hard cover, in good condition. First edition (1953)
The Silver Chalice by Thomas B. Costain is a historical novel that vividly reimagines the early years of Christianity through the fictional journey of Basil, a young and gifted Greek artisan chosen to craft a silver casing for the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper. Set in the first century A.D., the story weaves together real historical figures and biblical characters—such as Peter, Luke, and Joseph of Arimathea—with fictional elements, as Basil travels across the Roman Empire in search of artistic inspiration and spiritual truth. Rich in period detail, adventure, and philosophical reflection, the novel explores themes of faith, redemption, and the enduring power of sacred relics, offering readers a compelling blend of history and imagination.
