One sentence summary:
Maureen Pascal is destined to solve the mystery of Jesus' written gospel.
review:
I have only read the first two books in this series - also I am an atheist and as such do not care if Jesus is made human and had a wife and children etc.
I enjoyed reading these, a great adventure with a good deal of history thrown in. I understand that some Christians took offence to the humanizing of Jesus, the idea he had a family etc seems to have hurt their morals, I do not have this qualm and enjoyed the process McGowan took of making the man out of the myth. Her writing style is fast paced and her characters (both present and past) are really well thought out and horribly flawed. I really liked that all of the characters were self serving and there was much betrayal, to me it made the whole thing take on a more realistic tone. I am looking forward to reading the third installment in this series. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story and isn't a holier than thou christian.
6/10
