When Richard Spencer, a biology graduate student, visited Italy in the summer, he learned about a relic that had been venerated by Christian pilgrims for centuries. This small skin sample from Jesus Christ had been preserved for two thousand years and now provided Richard with the opportunity to sequence the genome of God's only son, opening the door to the ultimate religious experience: the reading of God's DNA. Diving into the history of British colonization of North America and into the irreconcilable diversity of religious faiths, at the same time as falling in love with his female classmate, Richard gradually learns about what he could never have imagined would be the truth about the Holy Prepuce.
