According to the myth of the Wandering Jew, Ahasverus denied Christ a resting place while Christ was traveling to Golgotha. In turn, Ahasverus was cursed to roam the earth until the Second Coming. Stefan Heym's novel expands this myth to propose that the right synthesis of love and rebellion can bring humankind to the Kingdom of Heaven.
