En la opulenta Córdoba de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, un joven morisco, desgarrado entre dos culturas y dos amores, inicia una ardiente lucha por la tolerancia religiosa y los derechos de su pueblo.

La historia de un joven atrapado entre dos religiones y dos amores, en busca de su libertad y la de su pueblo, en la Andalucía del siglo XVI.

En 1568, en los valles y montes de las Alpujarras, ha estallado el grito de la rebelión: hartos de injusticias, expolio y humillaciones, los moriscos se enfrentan a los cristianos e inician una desigual pugna que sólo puede terminar con su derrota y dispersión por todo el reino de Castilla.

Entre los sublevados se encuentra el joven Hernando. Hijo de una morisca y del sacerdote que la violó, es rechazado por los moriscos, debido a su origen, y por los cristianos, por la cultura y costumbres de su familia.

Durante la insurrección conoce la brutalidad y crueldad de unos y otros, pero también encuentra el amor en la figura de la valerosa Fátima, la de los grandes ojos negros. A partir de la derrota, forzado a vivir en Córdoba y en medio de las dificultades de la existencia cotidiana, todas sus fuerzas se concentrarán en lograr que su cultura y religión, las de los vencidos, recuperen la dignidad y el papel que merecen. Para ello deberá correr riesgos y atreverse a desafiar las leyes con audaces y peligrosas iniciativas...

Los lectores de La catedral del mar encontrarán en esta segunda novela de su autor las mismas claves que llevaron al éxito a la primera: la fidelidad histórica, que se entrevera con un apasionado relato de amor y odio, de ilusiones perdidas y esperanzas que dan sentido a la vida y la lanzan por los caminos de la aventura. De ese modo, su autor construye una trepidante novela que pretende reflejar la tragedia del pueblo morisco, ahora que se cumple el cuarto centenario de su expulsión de España, y que también relata una vida singular, la de un hombre fronterizo y enamorado que nunca se resignó a la derrota y luchó por la convivencia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In the opulent Córdoba of the second half of the 16th century, a Moorish young man, torn between two cultures and two loves, launches an ardent battle for religious tolerance and the rights of his people.

The story of a young man trapped between two religions and two loves, in search of his freedom and that of his people, in 16th-century Andalucia.

In 1568, in the valleys and mountains of the Alpujarras, a rebellion has been sparked: tired of injustice, pillaging, and humiliation, the Moors confront the Christians and start an uneven fight that can only end with their defeat and dispersion throughout Castile.

Among the rebels is young Hernando. Son of a Moorish woman and the priest who raped her, he is rejected by Moors because of his background, and by Christians because of his family's culture and customs.

During the insurrection, he experiences brutality and cruelty, but he also finds love in the shape of the brave Fátima, the girl with the large black eyes. After the defeat, forced to live in Córdoba and in the midst of a difficult daily existence, all of his efforts go to regaining the dignity that his culture and his religion deserve. To do that, he must take risks and challenge the laws with bold, dangerous initiatives...

Thorough and careful research but I do disagree on some points
Format: Paperback
Review for 'When Giants Were Upon the Earth". As a Christian Bible reader of many years, I was not sure what I was getting myself into by buying and reading this book. ( I do have other books that are not part of the Bible such as Mr. Godawa mentions for reference.) Mr. Godawa has made careful and thorough research on the subject of the Nephilim which is only briefly mentioned in the Bible. He has broadened my understanding of little known facts about the giants and the pagan beliefs of other cultures. I was pleasantly surprised and pleased that a Hollywood screenwriter would do justice to the teachings of God. I do disagree with him about his ideas about satan - I believe he is an individual spirit being and the leader of the other angels that revolted in Heaven. In the New Testament we note that he is ruler of this world John 12:31, he transforms himself into an angel of light II Cor 11:14 and he is also a roaring lion 1 Peter 5:8. I am not totally finished with this book yet but I am hoping that there is information on Nimrod. I would recommend this book for Christian readers who want Bible information 'fleshed out' and explained and about the sons of God, the Nephilim etc.

What they Didn't Teach You in Sunday School
Format: Paperback
Often when reading through the Bible, whether one does so for religious reasons or not, we miss details in the background. Or we do not take into consideration cultural context while interpreting passages. Sometimes, due to difficulties in translating ancient languages into modern ones, some things are literally lost in translation. In this volume, where Godawa collects material he has previously published into one volume, he examines many of these issues. In particular, he focuses on topics that have long mystified people and been the subject of much conjecture and fictionalization: Nephilim, Watchers and giants. He also takes a close look at verses that may have had supernatural elements inadvertently scrubbed: The strange ariel creatures in 2 Samuel 23:20 translated instead into men, or the demons and goblins of Isaiah 13:21-22 written off as wild animals, etc. Clues to a different ancient world than usually supposed? The only misstep is his adherence to the John Walton ANE interpretation. This is based on superficial interpretation, and worse history (e.g. the whole ANE "dome" interpretation of creation is largely mythical). Walton's books haves done a huge disservice in undermining biblical inerrancy. See Hugh Ross' Rescuing Inerrancy for more on Walton and others who aren't too good at biblical study. There's a lot of food for thought in these pages. For more, see and .
