"The Fifth Gospel" is sensational



     The mark of a good book for m is one where I miss the characters after I finish reading. This book has clearly-defined characters, a thorough description of everyday life in Vatican City (yes, there is such a thing), and a solid,, serious theological background: the Shroud of Turin and Pope John Paul II's wish to reunite Roman Catholics and Orthodox before his death.

              Here there is a relationship between two brothers, a father and young son, an absent wife, an unconventional justice system, and New Testament scholarship.

               This book was worth the read.

One of my joys is having good friends from all walks of life and all over the world. Miriam is a pastoral colleague and has amazing insights...
