*Starred Review* Lund finishes his epic Kingdom and the Crown series with Behold the Man, following Fishers of Men (2000) and Come unto Me (2001). (Lund, a Mormon, is also the author of a nine-volume historical fiction series about the Mormon Church called The Work and the Glory.) Characters from the first two volumes, concerned with Roman oppression and Zealot rebellion, appear also in the conclusion, which is the story of the final days of Jesus' ministry, his trial and crucifixion, and his resurrection. The Kingdom and the Crown lacks the passion of The Robe and the complexity of Quo Vadis, but despite its monumental length, it zips right along. With Brock and Bodie Thoene's ongoing Zion Legacy series, it belongs in public libraries everywhere.
