The Alexandria Letter (2010 Honig), novel
The Alexandria Letter (2010) is a novel by George R. Honig.
Abstract
The novel tells the story of Jesus of Nazareth through the eyes of a Jewish first-century follower of both Jesus and John the Baptist. An ancient Aramaic letter is found by a modern-day scholar who must verify its authenticity in the face of opposition from the Vatican and a threat to his academic career and his life.
"After Cambridge scholar Nathan Tobin discovers an ancient Aramaic letter, he finds himself thrown into an agonizing struggle against powerful forces committed to discrediting him. The Alexandria letter discloses surprising revelations about the lives of Jesus and John the Baptist, as well as shocking claims of duplicity by Paul of Tarsus, which threaten to turn long-held principles of Christianity on their heads.But as he races to verify the authenticity of the letter, he faces rejection by his fellow scholars and sinister opposition from within the Church that aims to stop him at any cost. The Alexandria letter represents the most important work Nathan has ever done, but it may also be the last."--Publisher description.
