<p>Author of <i>Emma Who Saved My Life</i> and <i>Lookaway, Lookaway </i><br><i></i><br><i>Gospel</i> concerns the search for a lost first-century gospel of the Bible, a document that could shake the foundations of Christianity. Wilton Barnhardt's narrative races through three continents, nine countries, and dozens of colorful locales, as two characters--shy theological student Lucy Dantan and hard-drinking, disillusioned ex-Jesuit Patrick O'Hanrahan--pursue rumors and clues about the gospel's whereabouts and contents. In the end, what they discover will challenge and forever change the nature of faith.</p><p>An intellectual detective story with the erudition of Umberto Eco and the grand swirling entertainment of a nineteenth-century novel,<i>Gospel</i> is exciting, profound, revent, and terrifically funny.</p>
