Although Tuvia’s primary focus today is nonfiction, historical fiction remains a long-term passion. His fiction explores the Jewish and early Christian world of the first centuries, combining careful historical research with imaginative storytelling. The goal is for readers to experience the first-century Jewish world that gave birth to Christianity.
The Secret Scroll of Magdala
A long-term historical fiction project following Jewish and early Christian lives during and after the destruction of the Second Temple.
- Book 1: The War (67-70 AD)
- Book 2: The Scriptures (71-90 AD)
- Book 3: The Revelation (100-150 AD)
The Secret Scroll of Magdala is not yet published or available for purchase. For now, the manuscript is patiently waiting in Tuvia’s drawer for the right moment to see the light of day.
The series draws on Roman, Jewish, and early Christian sources—including Josephus, archaeological discoveries, early Christian writings, and rabbinic literature—to recreate the world of first-century Judea as faithfully as possible.

Tuvia’s goal is not simply to tell exciting stories, but to help readers imagine the historical world in which the events of the Bible unfolded.
