Title: Jude
First published: 1998
Description: "In this investigation of faith and legend, journalist Liz Trotta follows the footsteps of the New Testament's most elusive saint through Italy, Turkey, the lands of old Armenia, and the United States in search of the shadowy origins, history, and sacred sites of Jude Thaddeus. A modern-day pilgrimage, Jude is filled with rich historic lore, insightful reportage, poignant anecdotes, and personal reflections.".

"As though guided by Jude himself, Trotta encounters an extraordinary number of meaningful coincidences - synchronicities which are the very heart of the Jude experience. In every city, at every turn, her sleuthing seems led by an invisible hand, drawing her down narrow alleyways, toward rarely seen relics, to conversations with miracle-seeking people with AIDS.

Each experience an added title, this portrait of Jude emerges as a beautifully rendered mosaic, filled with colorful history, strange artifacts, and stories of the miraculous powers of faith."--BOOK JACKET.
