The betrayal : the lost life of Jesus

Gear, Kathleen O'Neal. (Author). Gear, W. Michael. (Added Author).

Summary: The year is 325 C.E. Brother Barnabas is an ardent student of the ancient holy texts, books that paint a picture of Jesus that is radical, heretical, and irresistable. In these writings of Mary Magdalen, Philip, and James, Barnabas finds clues to the truth about Christ that he vows to protect at all costs. But the ecumencial council of bishops has declared his most precious books "a hotbed of manifold perversity," and the Emperor Constantine has decreeded that the documents must be burned- and anyone found copying them will be executed as a Christian heretic. When Barnabus' monastary is silently attacked, he must flee with inly he few trusted companions. But they are being followed, for the True Church cannot allow them to escape. In fact, it will do anything to stop them.
