Christopher Prince narrates the story of a lost biblical codex in a strong voice. Jonathan and Shannon Weber, American archaeologists, discover an ancient manuscript commissioned by Constantine the Great. Revelations from the discovery would drastically change how the Bible is interpreted. The manuscript is stolen, and the Webers find themselves in a chase that holds their careers and lives in the balance. Prince's narrative style, while confident, sounds like a reporter announcing breaking news and doesn't do justice to Maier's story. J.E. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
For centuries, scholars have speculated about a lost book of the Bible. No one has ever found it-until now.*A few pieces*of centuries-old parchment tucked inside a tattered book lead famed archaeologist Jonathan Weber and his wife Shannon to what could possibly be the greatest find in church history-a discarded biblical manuscript whose ancient pages reveal a secret that will change the way the world views Scripture. Is it one of fifty copies commissioned by Constantine the Great and lost for centuries? Or the most sophisticated forgery of all time? When the manuscript is stolen, Jon is swept into a deadly race to find it and prove its authenticity before it's lost forever. Everything hangs in the balance-his career, his reputation, even his life-but he's willing to risk it all in one final daring attempt to determine the truth.
