Review: Historical fact dramatized.

The author is extremely well educated in matters of science, physics and metaphysics and has spent much time digging into facets of Christianity.  In this book it is like he took the New Testament of the Christian Bible, added some parts from Agnostic texts and then dramatized those times, comparing Peter and Paul.  They were rivals during many of those years because Peter had been a simple Galilean Jew having been taught by Jesus, a Galilean and a gentle rebel, and Paul, originally Saul, a well educated scholar of Jewish law, which was far from what Jesus offered.  For anyone who would like to get more out of this book than just entertainment, I suggest you go to the back of the book and read it first where Mr. Law has his notes about where and what he found and why he wrote as he did.Unless you are a student of the New Testament, especially relative to Acts, you may not realize that Paul taught a much different, more sophisticated religion than Peter and some of the acts of what Mr. Law describes in this historical novel were taken from the Nag Hamadi Gnostic scrolls as he says.  In fact there are over 500 Gnostic scrolls translated besides the Nag Hamadi ones and it is amazing what they contain.  These can be found by googling the Gnostic Library and downloaded for free.I do not have the intellectual ability to actually analyze this book adequately, and can only encourage you to read it yourself if you have any interest at all in those times and perhaps a new perspective of looking at those first centuries of the Way for the author did a tremendous job of making those times live once again.
