A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

1st Century Historical Novel A tale depicting a clandestine search for an ancient stolen scroll that could change religious beliefs worldwide and the recent discovered diary of the scribe who wrote it. In a cramped corner of the dimly-lit basement in the Israel Museum, Susan Bauer, a graduate student, is translating the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls when she discovers a few words on a scroll fragment—words that have the potential to change religious beliefs worldwide. When Bauer informs prominent linguistic scientist, Dr. Samuel Gold, that the carbon dating on the ancient document is between 50 B.C.E. and 100 C.E., he is stunned to realize that these few words refer to a long-lost stolen manuscript that, if found, would correct misconceptions about the life of Jesus. Bauer and Dr. Gold join a team of experts to determine if the words are evidence that the mysterious scroll really exists, how to find it, and its meaning for today’s world. The search for the stolen Secret Temple Scroll becomes a clandestine operation organized by Israel’s Mossad. As word of the Scroll is leaked and the world clamors for its contents, an unexpected second scroll is unearthed. Along the twisting route of the scrolls, a Roman Catholic cardinal confronts his doubts; an Israeli agent struggles with his prejudices, and world religions must come to terms with intolerance. But it is the anonymous scribe who has the final word in a mesmerizing depiction of his life in Galilee.
