Beskrivelse
The Archangel, Uriel, is determined to preserve the Gnostic Gospels, after the Church has concluded they are no longer part of canonical scripture. He enlists the help of seven monks, who have been banished by the Church, for possession of the heretical gospels, to help him with his quest. The monks, among them a mute and a hunchback, agree to help the Archangel. Not everyone wants the books preserved, the demon, Azazel, will stop at nothing to thwart Uriel in his quest. Beginning in the fourth century, and spanning across a time period of 500 years, the preservation of these gospels, becomes an almost impossible task, between the determined demon and the burning of the heretical scriptures, by the Church. The Gnostic Gospels is a humorous, but ultimately esoteric journey toward principled people, rather than strict adherence to dogmatic principles. "The supernatural and metaphysical are subjects rarely entertained by contemporary American authors and to see Marietta Rodgers, examine this genre, with her quirky comic voice, is nothing short of delightful." - Nathan Lund Eastman, author of Poet's Memorial Hospital Fund and the Promethean Fallacy.
