The Lamp and the Light

By Thomas Mercer

What if the past could reach back?When archaeologist Caleb Nash and historian Ava Mercer uncover a sealed chamber in the hills outside Jerusalem, they find something that defies explanation - an ancient oil lamp that has waited two thousand years to be found. By the right people. At the right moment.In an instant they are torn from everything familiar and dropped into the most consequential time in human history - first century Judea, one year before the crucifixion. A world of dust and danger where survival is not guaranteed and nothing in their carefully constructed secular lives has prepared them for what they are about to encounter.To survive they must depend on each other completely.To find their way home they must follow a road they never chose.And somewhere on that road - in a crowded city during an ancient feast, in a small lamplit room, in the words of a man from Nazareth that no one who heard them ever forgot - two people who never believed in anything beyond what they could prove will discover that the greatest evidence of all has been waiting for them all along.Some roads find you. This one will change you.
