The Book of DieselThe Light Before the Gospel“When Yael's family received permission to travel west, she thanked Cyrus in the language of her own ancestors. Narseh did not correct her theology. Gratitude belonged to the grateful. He only asked that the names of Persian clerks, Babylonian neighbors, and local laborers not disappear when the story was told.”
