This year marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of
Three Soldiers, the first celebrated novel by the prolific American novelist John Dos Passos (1896-1970). The writer is probably best known for his epic
U.S.A., a trilogy of novels experimental in form and highly critical of American capitalism and culture.

U.S.A. and seen as the work of a younger Dos Passos, one who is still finding his novelist’s voice, but the earlier novel is itself an accomplished work worthy of a reader’s attention in 2021.

Jesusâ crucifixion as the âLamb of Godâ occurred on the Jewish Feast of Passover, the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, most likely between 30 and 33 AD.
Passover was when each Israelite family in Egypt killed a lamb and put its blood over the doorposts of their house so that the angel of death would âpass overâ during the final plague.
The Apostle Paul wrote:
