Jesus of Nazareth was condemned, tortured and cruelly killed by the
Romans who occupied Judea in the First Century CE. The bodies of
crucified victims were routinely thrown into common graves, or left
to hang until the vultures and the dogs had done their work. Why is
it that many people now believe Jesus was different, that he did
not die, that his body was resurrected and taken to a placed called
Heaven? Why was the dead body of a criminal permitted to be
interred in a Jewish tomb? Why was the body not there a few days
later? Was it ever there? Was it stolen and buried elsewhere? Did
it survive death and return to life? The Q Fragments is an
historical novel that tells what could have happened. The story
begins when fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls turn up for sale on
the antiquities black market in modern day Jerusalem. When
translated, the fragments reveal information about Jesus of
Nazareth and his life, and more importantly, that there is a secret
about Jesus long hidden in the Israeli desert. A team is formed to
unravel the mystery and find the secret. When they do, it will
change Christianity forever. The Q Fragments then takes the reader
to Judea in the First Century CE to recount the life and fate of
the historical Jesus, a man who was not at all the person who is
now described in scripture, the Gospels and other Christian
writings. The Q Fragments is based on the canonical Gospels,
gnostic manuscripts, textual criticism and modern research into the
life of the historical Jesus of Nazareth. Through action,
characters and dialog it shows how Jesus' life, death and the
disappearance of his body could have been the origin of the
fantastic and contradictory accounts present in Christian
literature today.
