The discovery made front-page news around the world - if early Christians believed that Jesus was married, it would threaten not just the celibate, all-male priesthood, but the entire the 2,000-year history of the faith. Biblical scholars were in an uproar, but King had impeccable credentials as a world-renowned authority on female figures in the Gnostic gospels. The "Gospel of Jesus's Wife," as she titled her discovery, was both a crowning career achievement and powerful proof for her arguments that there were alternative, and much more inclusive, versions of Christianity from its beginnings. Assigned to write a story about King's find, award-winning journalist Ariel Sabar began to unearth disquieting questions about the papyrus. His globe-spanning investigation would lead to a rural hamlet in inland Florida, where he discovered a college dropout with a prophetess wife, a curious past in Germany, and a tortured relationship with the Catholic Church. The deeper Sabar dug into the mysteries of the "Gospel of Jesus's Wife," the more surreal the story became. VERITAS is at once a surprising detective story, a fascinating journey through the rarefied worlds of Biblical Studies and Egyptology, a piercing psychological portrait of a many-faced con artist, and a tragedy about a brilliant scholar handed a piece of ancient paper that appealed to her greatest hopes for Christianity--but forced a reckoning with fundamental questions about the line between reason and faith"--Ariel SabarIncludes bibliographical references and indexKing, Karen L / 1954-Jesus Christ / Words / Extra-canonical parallelsGospel of Jesus's Wife / Manuscripts (Papyri) / ForgeriesCoptic manuscripts (Papyri) / ForgeriesForgery of antiquitiesForgery of manuscripts|BS2970KXP1675844631978-0-385-54258-6HT020561207Online-Ausgabe, ebook978-0-385-54259-3VeritasSabar, ArielNew YorkDoubledaya division of Penguin Random House LLC, [2019]Online-Ausgabe6102hism115.s1132020082520200917148194901rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D148194901+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1067154 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1067154/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1067154
