Biblical novels were quite popular in the 1950s & 1960s. Brought about by the many Hollywood movies that got their story lines from Biblical stories. Movies like The Ten Commandments, The Robe, Samson & Delilah were the blockbusters of that era. So it was only natural that novels with Biblical themes would carry over to the literary field. During Holyweek in the Philippines in the 1970s, Victor Mature's The Robe or Robert Taylor's Quo Vadis would be repeated on free TV over and over and over and over. I got this book in relatively good condition at a price of P10 in 2011 based on the sticker price. No one bought it at P17 so it was discounted to P10.
