Archaeolgy-based, but not "Indiana Jones" type stuff. Some archaeologists find what they believe to be the tomb of Jesus, including his body. Which, of course, kind of blows the whole basic of the Christian religion right out of the water. Unsurprisingly, when word starts to get out about this discovery, there are all sorts of people who want to supress it. It's a thriller that makes you think about deeper issues. Great, great book. I hope it's still in print. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A skeleton found in Jerusalem, believed to be the body of Jesus, may plunge the world into chaos: "Totally riveting--right up to the last page" (The San Diego Union). In a hidden tomb in the ancient city of Jerusalem, the skeleton of a man who died two millennia ago is uncovered by Israeli archaeologist Sharon Golban and her team. The body bears the unmistakable marks of crucifixion; an inscription written in Aramaic identifies the remains as belonging to the "King of the Jews." It is a discovery that could rock the civilized world--inciting riots, toppling governments, and destroying the very foundations of the Christian Church--if it is truly the unrisen body of Jesus Christ. Dispatched by the Vatican to investigate in secret, Jesuit priest and former US Marine Jim Folan joins Dr. Golban in a frantic race to uncover the truth. The shocking revelations that await them will test his beliefs, his will, and his sanity as never before--leading Father Folan and his beautiful, brilliant partner into forbidden temptations while casting them both into a roaring maelstrom of fanatical faith and deadly politics. The Body is an ingenious "what if" tale that combines action, science, discovery, romance, and spirituality. Acclaimed author Richard Ben Sapir envelops the reader in the rich atmosphere of the mysterious and volatile Middle East while providing an enthralling adventure certain to provoke deep thought and inspire debate.
