Scars of Truth

Her answers regarding the manuscript's authenticity and scope were seductively vague. I asked her if she thought the document was real. She squinted and tilted her head to one side. "You mean is it authentic?" "I can tell you that it was written in first-century Greek, and it is the soul and life experience of someone." "That much is authentic." "She leaned forward as she continued." "And there is something more than that, we both feel it, or you wouldn't be here." An ancient manuscript is mysteriously abandoned to a stranger. Upon examining its contents both the stranger and the reader find two thousand years of distance dissolve and discover themselves invisibly standing next to Pontius Pilate, a man tumbling toward infamy. This "fly on the wall" account of events that led to a crucifixion, not only makes the reader part of the journey, but a key player in the death of Jesus of Nazareth.
