As A Driven Leaf by Milton Steinberg
Set in the tumultuous period of the Roman Empire, this historical novel follows the journey of Elisha ben Abuyah, a Jewish scholar torn between his faith and the allure of Greek philosophy. As he grapples with the conflict between religious tradition and intellectual freedom, Elisha's quest for truth leads him to question the very foundations of his beliefs. His internal struggle reflects the broader cultural and ideological tensions of his time, as he navigates the challenges of maintaining his identity amidst a world of change and uncertainty.
