Critique
“I marvelled at the inventive and educated mind at work, and the deft artistry of the writer telling her tale of the ages... the plotting is subtle and imaginative, the writing vivid and sophisticated…”

Synopsis
You've seen Mel Gibson's movie 'Passion of the Christ'! Now read the book that nullifies the central premise of the film – the ‘divinity’ of Jesus of Nazareth.
It is an original and provocative work in that it not only names the biological father of Jesus and systematically dismantles the major church doctrines of the 'Trinity' and the 'Miraculous Incarnation', but also offers evidence that, aside from his extraordinary qualities of character, the New Testament writers regarded Jesus as a normal man in every respect.

It also reveals the reasons why such 'fabulous' doctrines were adopted subsequent to the crucifixion.
The work is presented in the form of a novel where forensics, intrigue, romance, betrayal, and the ultimate in conspiracy theories grip the reader from first to last.
Linkages have been made throughout between historical fact and the fictional events portrayed in the novel. The framework thus created sets the scene for a classic dénouement that integrates the entire work and postulates the existence of a centuries-old ‘conspiracy’, breathtaking in its scope and ambition, factual in essence but fictional in the detail.
