Judea
has always been the crossroads and battlefield of contending nations. It
is no less so in this biblical time of the Judges. Uriah Tarhund's
Hittite home is destroyed by invading Greeks. His dying father tells him
to go south to seek a Canaanite named Sisera. "He will help you. For my
sake. . . ." Uriah is plunged into the tumult of an uneasy Judea. When
he saves a young boy from being sacrificed to Moloch, he is given succor
for a time by the Hebrews. Later, he finds Sisera and joins him
in war against these same people. When the Canaanites are defeated, the
young Hittite has the opportunity to come to peace with himself, the
Hebrew people and their God.
