The Rabbi's Knight by Michael J. Cooper | GSMC Book Review Podcast
Sarah welcomes back award-winning author Michael J. Cooper to discuss his latest historical fiction novel, The Rabbi’s Knight—a thrilling prequel to his acclaimed “Empire” series.
Set in 1290 at the end of the Crusades, The Rabbi’s Knight follows Knight Templar Jonathan St. Clair as he joins forces with Rabbi Samuel of Baghdad on a perilous mission through Acre and Jerusalem. When they uncover a mysterious scroll said to hold the key to the Temple Mount’s secrets, they must confront betrayal, faith, and destiny itself. Along the way, readers meet a vivid cast of characters, including Isaac of Acre, William Wallace, and the courageous Zahirah, who challenge the boundaries of faith and courage in a divided world.
Michael and Sarah explore the story’s timeless themes of cross-cultural understanding, spirituality, and redemption—and how ancient conflicts echo through modern times. Michael also shares insights from his years living in Jerusalem and his extensive research into the Crusades, Kabbalah, and medieval history.
Perfect for fans of historical epics like The Pillars of the Earth or The Da Vinci Code, this conversation uncovers the human stories behind centuries of faith and conflict. Tune in for an engaging, thought-provoking episode that connects past and present through history, mystery, and compassion.
