Following the inexplicable murder and reappearance of Perpetua, her
followers spread a gospel of unconditional love. Whilst struggling
to deal with issues of freedom and uniformity, power and love,
tension mounts. Set in two quintessentially British settings, they
quickly discover that each follower is called to pay a price, from
tedium to martyrdom. With the death of one of Perpetua's most loyal
supporters moments after uttering a revelatory accusation, they
learn that obstacles come not only from outside their number, but
from within. Spirit is the second of three books in The Third
Testament for the Third Millennium, a bold re-telling of the New
Testament in a 21st Century context, asking Christians to question
what they believe and why. Incorporating a dazzling array of
artistic styles, convention-breaking use of language and sharply
drawn characters, the series draws on its author's experience of
journalism, broadcasting and politics, and on his work as a lay
minister in the Church of England. It is profound and funny, moving
and edgy, setting out how we might better live together with more
self-restraint and less regulation.
