The Gospel of Christa

By John Hopkins

The Gospel of Christa opens at six in the morning on September 11, 2001. Christa wakes to her alarm, does her yoga, and heads to Lower Manhattan for an appointment. It's just another day in New York City.The story then travels back to early nineteenth-century New York, to explore the history of Christa, from the moment of her birth in 1826. Since girlhood she has possessed strange gifts, such as a perfect intuition that allows her to bet with unerring success on games. She also has the power to heal, and to cast out the mischievous demons that plague the city. Where did these gifts come from, and what is the meaning of them? Christa herself does not know.The novel then returns to September 11, 2001 for its stunning conclusion--but to a Manhattan which is as different and strange as the life of the protagonist.Why is Christa different, and what is her purpose? Who is she? These are the questions that are examined in this modernday, fifth gospel, the Gospel of Christa.
