A fictional account of Barabbas, one of the Bible’s most enigmatic figures. Scripture tells us only that he was an insurrectionist condemned by the Romans to die until his path intersected with that of Jesus Christ. Barabbas was set free while Jesus was crucified in his place.
Set in Roman-occupied Judea, Barabbas, Son of a Father imagines the life, struggles, and beliefs of the man whose freedom came at so great a cost. As Barabbas wrestles with questions of power, faith, family, and freedom, he encounters a Messiah unlike the one he expected—and a truth that will challenge everything he believes.

A fictional account of Barabbas, one of the Bible’s lesser-known figures. Scripture tells us only that he was an insurrectionist condemned by the Romans to die until his path intersected with that of Jesus Christ. Barabbas was set free while Jesus was crucified in his place.
Condemned under Roman rule, Barabbas longs for a Messiah who will bring freedom through strength, rebellion, and political deliverance. A leather-worker from Bethlehem, husband to Tamar, and father of three children, he is restless, proud, and convinced that Israel’s salvation can come only through resistance against its oppressors.
When Barabbas encounters Jesus of Nazareth, he finds himself both intrigued and frustrated. Jesus speaks not of revolt, but of forgiveness. Not of conquering Rome, but of the kingdom of heaven. His message challenges everything Barabbas believes about power, justice, and freedom.
As tensions rise across Judea and Jesus’ ministry draws growing crowds, Barabbas is forced to confront difficult questions about his loyalties, his ambitions, and the life he has built. Then, during Passover, the crowd is given a choice: Jesus or Barabbas. The guilty man is released, and the innocent one is condemned in his place.
Barabbas, Son of a Father is a compelling work of biblical historical fiction that explores the life, motives, and inner struggle of one of Scripture’s most mysterious characters. Rich with historical detail, scriptural themes, and human drama, Basil B. Clark’s novel invites readers to consider the meaning of grace, redemption, and true freedom through the eyes of the man whose life was forever changed by the events of the cross.
