In The Bronze Bow, what are the chains that bind men's souls?

Answer 1

The Bronze Bow is a story set in Galilee in biblical times during the Roman occupation of Israel. After witnessing the crucifixion of his father and subsequent demise of his mother, a young Jewish boy, named Daniel, vows revenge on the Romans. His hatred of them is overwhelming and governs his entire life. On several occasions he tries to understand that the preaching of Jesus means to defeat fear and hatred. Eventually, with the help of his process of maturing, he is able to abandon his hate, and in so doing, he can allow love to enter and take its place.

It is fear and hatred that bind men's souls.
