Barbara Wood's 1978 debut novel is now back in print in a new
edition from Turner Publishing.When the first of the Magdalene
Scrolls arrives, Professor Ben Messer is puzzled, intrigued,
excited. What scholar of ancient languages wouldn’t be, when he
held in his hands something even more astonishing than the Dead Sea
Scrolls—a scroll just discovered to contain the life story and
last confession of a man who had lived in Jerusalem just after the
death of Christ. By the time the second scroll arrives, Ben’s
interest has begun to be more than professional. For it seems that
David, the writer of the ancient scrolls, is in many ways very much
like Ben—and he seems to be speaking directly to Ben, across
nearly 2,000 years of history. Before long, the terrifying
transformation has begun, and there can be no turning back. What do
the words of a Jew who lived 2,000 years ago have to do with today,
and with Ben Messer, a man who had forsaken his Jewish identity
years ago—or thought he had. And why does David’s life suddenly
seem so much more real—and powerful—than Ben’s own? Why does
Ben suddenly shut himself off from the beautiful woman he intends
to marry and become involved with Judy Golden, a very different
kind of woman? And what will happen if Ben surrenders completely to
the power of the scrolls? Before long, the terrifying
transformation has begun, and there can be no turning back . . .
