White Prophet A Novel

"The White Prophet looks like an ingenious revival of a dead genre-that of the early-Christian- martyr romance -by inverting it. The familiar characters and situations are simply made to change places, and there you are! Instead of the corrupt Pagan Empire of Rome, Mr. Caine gives us a corrupt Christian Empire of Great Britain in Egypt., for Nero and his flinty-hearted commander of the Praetorian Guards, he substitutes a British administrator and a Sirdar., and, mutatis mutandis, for the humble, obscure, persecuted early Christians, the mute fellaheen and the Arabs and Nubians of the desert."? The Bookman ( October,1909)Caine, Hall is the author of 'White Prophet A Novel', published 2003 under ISBN 9781410104021 and ISBN 1410104028.
