Description: What would happen if God's existence were absolutely, undeniably proven? This French best-seller, a nominee for several literary prizes, plunges us into a scramble among the highest officials of church and state when six pages irrefutably proving God's existence land in the hands of a powerful order of priests. With two thousand years of doubt put to rest, could this astounding discovery eliminate all motivation to work, capsize world economies, and abolish the need for government and clergy?

Could this spur a new era of world harmony, or launch one final battle into the apocalypse?
