" Le Royaume raconte lhistoire des débuts de la chrétienté, vers la fin du Ier siècle après Jésus Christ. Il…
raconte comment deux hommes, essentiellement, Paul et Luc, ont transformé une petite secte juive refermée autour de son prédicateur crucifié sous lempereur Tibère et quelle affirmait être le messie, en une religion qui en trois siècles a miné lEmpire romain puis conquis le monde et concerne aujourdhui encore le quart de lhumanité.
