With vivid prose and compelling characters, "The Mist of God"
offers a captivating glimpse into Biblical times. The destinies of
Linus Flavian, Maria of Magdala, and their son, Marcus, play out in
this dramatic first-century story that spans the extremities of the
known world of that time, from Britannia to India.
The Roman Empire is rising to its height while a fledging
religious sect of Judaism reconciles itself with the mystery of its
crucified leader, Joshua of Nazareth. Growing from a clash between
nationalistic Judaism and a messianic universalism, followers from
Saul of Tarsus to Simon Cephas take the fledgling faith out to the
Gentile world on the trading routes of the House of Arimathea.
Their witness, however, differs from the very personal
understanding of divinity that Maria believes she learned from her
lover, the crucified Lord. Nevertheless, she passes this legacy on
to her son, Ben Joshua, the child Joshua never knew. Ben Joshus
finds this message enchanced when he travels to India as a partner
in the House of Arimathea-but his survival is anything but
certain.
The third in the dramatic series "The Magdala Trilogy, The Mist
of God" provides a fascinating commentary on the origins of
Christianity that is both challenging yet plausible, incorporating
traditional beliefs, fictitious thoughts, and new controversial
interpretations.
