The Robe
The Robe is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption.
A Roman soldier, Marcellus, wins Christ’s garment as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene. This quest reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity and takes place against the vividly-pictured background of ancient Rome.
