Although written as a novel, Longley's research into the subject of the historical Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and other biblical characters not as well known, is obvious and enhances the appeal of the story. As a student of the historical Jesus, I quickly realized that Longley had combined biblical references with other ancient materials and historical accounts of the time to construct a picture of Jesus that may come much closer to the truth than many might like to believe. Fast paced, exciting, romantic, and original, I found it difficult to put the book down. I'm now anxiously awaiting the next in the series.
On the Edge!

This book is provocative, scary, makes one want to read on, an interesting page turner with a writing style that is precise. I recommend it for any individual who wants to expand his or her view of what most consider to be truth.
A thinking man's book!

Buy and read this book if you dare. The author pulls no punches with his book. Thank you for having the courage to write and give a different viewpoint on a subject most would have stayed away from for fear of offending those who need to believe. Thank you.
Great Concept!

Thought Provoking!

Not only did I enjoy reading this book but the provocative theories in the book gave me pause that my assumptions about Jesus of Nazareth was the complete truth about his life. Peter Longley's book is controversial but well worth the ride.
