Description
Ariel Sabar's Veritas: A Harvard Professor, a Con Man, and the Gospel of Jesus's Wife is a gripping narrative that delves into the mysterious discovery of an ancient papyrus fragment. In 2012, Dr. Karen King announced her groundbreaking find at a scholarly conference, sparking controversy among biblical scholars. As award-winning journalist Ariel Sabar investigates the story behind the "Gospel of Jesus's Wife," he uncovers a complex web of deceit and intrigue. From rural Florida to Germany, Sabar's globe-spanning inquiry reveals a tangled narrative of forgeries, con artists, and the Catholic Church. The deeper he digs, the more surreal the story becomes. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of faith, identity, and the power of discovery. With its unique blend of history, anthropology, and true crime, Veritas promises to appeal to readers with its unflinching examination of the human condition.
