What was the early Church like? Contrary to popular belief, Rod
Bennett shows there is a reliable way to know. Four ancient
Christian writers--four witnesses to early Christianity --left us
an extensive body of documentation on this vital subject, and this
book brings their fascinating testimony to life for modern
believers. With all the power and drama of a gripping novel, this
book is a journey of discovery of ancient and beautiful truths
through the lives of four great saints of the early Church--Clement
of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus of Lyons.
He's been divinized, demonized, demythologized, and decoded. He's
been spoken for and spoken against, the best loved, least
understood, most controversial figure in human history. All of
which makes Jesus of Nazareth the single most tempting target for
haunted Georgia billionaire Anson MacDonald and his pricy team of
time-traveling scientists and historians. What if you could capture
Christ?-bring him to our own time, make him sit for modern
questions and get his answers on tape? Would he do miracles? Start
a revolution? Would he disappoint his followers-or disappoint the
skeptics? These questions become a good deal more than academic for
three unsuspecting outsiders brought to MacDonald's secret compound
for close encounters with his mysterious guest. Sylvie Fortune, the
beautiful but wheelchair-bound police psychic, has longstanding
issues with the failed Messiah of her childhood and insists on
hanging these around the neck of MacDonald's visitor. Security
analyst Carter Nichols, brought in to investigate the leaks that
threaten Jesus' safe return to his own time, grapples with the
threat of attack by fanatics and the social unrest that could erupt
when the truth about the Christus Experiment is revealed. And most
frightening of all, Rabbi Jakob Silverberg, assigned as the
Nazarene's Jewish chaplain during his 21st century stay, begins to
uncover a sinister plot to change history, slowly realizing that
someone (or something) could very well be using MacDonald's time
machine to enslave the future forever... Early readers of The
Christus Experiment have had nothing but raves: Author and
historian Mike Aquilina declared it "a piece of out-and-out
genius...I couldn't put it down. Haunted me for days afterward."
Micah Harris, author of Heaven's War, the acclaimed graphic novel
from Image Comics, says The Christus Experiment is
"mind-blowing...and hugely entertaining. This is what C.S. Lewis
would be doing in the age of Iron Man. Bravo " Popular internet
pundit Mark Shea called the book, "a lulu of a sci-fi story that I
stayed up later than I should have reading...I so want to see a
movie made of this. It would rock the house...Rod Bennett is one of
the most original minds going right now."
