Abomination: The Story of David and Jonathan - Paperback

by Jeza Belle (Author)

David, a shepherd from Bethlehem, and Jonathan, the son of the Israelite king, come face-to-face after the death of the Philistine giant, Goliath. Their encounter stirs the soul, and the two become one in a way that many believe but few have dared to write about. This love story follows the tragic journey of two bisexual men who are deeply connected, and yet whose destinies ultimately do not align. One is reckless and ascendant, while the other is loyal and shackled to the sins of his fading father. Abomination explores the definition of love with a contemporary, yet historical, spin on the lives of these two biblical heroes. Readers should be advised that this novel contains elements of violence, sexism, misogyny, and ancient cultural bias / ethnic prejudice.
