The Butcher of Nazareth
The Butcher of Nazareth
David Scott Hay

Haunting visions drive a grieving butcher to hunt down an obese, pre-ministry Jesus to prevent an age of fire and ash.

But when the Butcher ‘adopts’ a dead newborn, his hunt for the son of Nazareth takes a personal and horrific turn.

How does one choose between personal redemption and world-wide salvation?

From Bethlehem to Jerusalem to Nazareth, familiar events and figures are reimagined with a modern sensibility, building to a gut-wrenching conclusion.

A heart of darkness story that explores: fathers and sons, grief, zealotry, and choice.

Foreword by Dave Fitzgerald (author of Troll – Kirkus Reviews Top Indie Books of 2023)

The Butcher of Nazareth by David Scott Hay tells the story of a butcher from Hebron who was recruited to join the bunch of loyalists assigned by King Herod to assassinate all male children ages two years and below in all of Bethlehem (the Culling), in a selfish attempt to kill the new born king of the Jews. Titus, a butcher turned assassin, receives horrific visions from YHWH about a flame deluge destined to take place in a coming generation all because of the one child responsible for the Culling, yet who escaped it: Jesus of Nazareth.
