Described as a novel, but more autobiography and history, this French best seller turns out to be an utterly gripping investigation of early Christianity. Concentrating on Paul and Luke, it paints a vivid picture of the times and of the two individuals - plus much else besides. In a breathtaking section, the distinctive voice of Christ himself emerges. All this, plus much about himself, from an ex-Christian with a super sized ego. Unique.
