Book Description:
'What he did for the Victorian novel in The Crimson Petal and the White Faber now does for the bestselling books du jour.' Guardian
From the Back Cover:
'A thriller of a story.'
The Times
'The satire is so entertaining, the pace so sharp, the writing so witty . . . it's effortless to consume.'
Observer
When Theo Griepenkerl happens upon the fifth Gospel in a war-torn Iraqi museum, he can't believe his luck. Driven by greed and a lust for fame, he capitalises on his find by publishing it. His book is a sensation. But he can hardly imagine the incendiary consequences his discovery will have for Christians, Arabs, homicidal maniacs and Amazon customers alike.
The Fire Gospel is a brilliant piece of storytelling, dazzlingly outrageous and utterly gripping.
'Faber's latest bristles with tightly edited ideas . . . This is a lean, controlled, instantly engrossing book.' *****

Book Description Condition: Bueno. In the aftermath of the first war in Iraq, Theo Griepenkerl is visiting the looted museum of Mosul when a bomb explodes outside the building. As Theo seeks shelter, he stumbles across the discovery of a lifetime: nine papyrus scrolls that have lain hidden for two thousand years Theo believes that he has found the fifth gospel, and its significance is extraordinary. For it offers a shocking new account of the last days of Christ, calling into question the conventional narrative of events. As he sets out to share his discovery with the world, he can scarcely imagine where his journey will take him, and the trials and dangers that lie ahead. The Fire Gospel is on one level a hugely entertaining tale. At its heart lies a profound and powerful message about the power of words to resonate across centuries. As an indictment of fundamentalism, it is as controversial and provocative as The Last Temptation of Christ. It is a revelatory piece of storytelling, and a terrific addition to the myths series.
