Synopsis
Narrated by Angel Archer, the daughter-in-law of Episcopal Bishop Timothy Archer, this novel follows the bishop's obsessive pursuit of ancient religious documents that may contain the actual words of Christ. As Archer's theological investigations lead him to Israel, the people closest to him are consumed by grief, madness, and death.
