Jeshurun

the long version

“Jeshurun” (a poetical name for Israel used some four times in the Bible and derived from the Hebrew word meaning “to be upright”) is a novel of biblical allegory. It tells the story of salvation history through the everyday sights and sounds of a contemporary high school student’s world. This novel carries the reader from the dilemma of the Jewish nation at the close of Old Testament times to the liberating gospel of Christ, all in the guise of a boys’ boarding school and the mysterious new student who enrolls for the spring semester.
