The Word

Description

"In the Beginning, there was The Word ." The classic thriller of an ancient manuscript, a secret society committed to hiding an explosive truth & the man who must uncover that truth--if he can stay alive long enough. In the ruins of the Roman seaport of Ostia Antica, an Italian archeologist has discovered a first century papyrus, its faded text revealing a new gospel written by James, a younger brother of Jesus. This discovery will show the world a new Jesus, fill in the missing years of his ministry, contradict the existing accounts of his life & potentially destroy the foundation of 2000 years of Western civilization. First published in 1972, The Word remains a classic of brilliant storytelling, authentic detail & breathtaking narrative power. ISBN:0552094609
