Front cover
The main picture at the top is of the temple area at Tel Arad, taken from just above the ‘Holy of Holies’ taken by author in June 2014. The insert is of a pomegranate at Tel Arad. When Moses sent the twelve spies ahead into the land, “they came to the Valley of Eshcol and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; they also brought some pomegranates and figs.” (Numbers 13:23 ESV). Though the location of the Valley of Eshcol is debated, it must not have been too far from Arad which was in the very south of the land given to Israel.

Papyrus 75, or p. 75, is an early Greek papyrus manuscript of the Gospels of Luke and John. It dates from the late 2nd or early 3rd century and preserves an Alexandrian type of text, very similar to that of Codex Vaticanus (B). Papyrus 75 is one of the Bodmer Papyri but since 2007, now lives in the Vatican Library.
Photograph of The beginning of John’s Gospel from p.75 is in public domain.

This is the third in a series of articles or stories under the general title: A Different View. Written by Steven Whitehead, they are essentially historical fiction and written to convey some Biblical truths in a more readily accessible fashion. Using an imaginary eyewitness as narrator allows the story to be told in the first person, encouraging readers to be drawn more directly into the events as they unfold.
His full commentary on the story with relevant sources is available here.
