Publisher's Synopsis
When Monsignor Carlucci was appointed Prefect of the Vatican Secret Archives, he received a key to a secret room from his predecessor. In this room he discovered, among old parchments of the Church Father Jerome, a 2000 year- old unknown Gospel, written in Aramaic, "The Gospel of the Essenes", which showed astonishing similarities with the writings of the New Testament. A discovery that put his entire faith in the Bible to the test. Together with his childhood friend and naturopath Gilberto, they tried to find out the secret behind the Gospel of the Essenes.The present book trilogy is a scientific work in the form of a novel. It proves that the New Testament, the basis of Christian doctrine, is the strategically modified plagiarism of a Gospel that the Catholic Church calls a falsification: The Gospel of the Essenes. Based on writings from Qumran, Nag Hammadi and from the Mar Saba monastery in Bethlehem, it was possible not only to prove the authenticity of the Gospel of the Essenes, but also to unmask the motive that led to its falsification, as well as the clever and cunning strategy of forgery. Through this work it was also possible to reconstruct the authentic "Jesus" - words that were largely suppressed in the New Testament.
