Part of the Mysterium series
Paperback / softback
Description
Corinth: a stunning metropolis where the fiery spirit of Paul vies with the lurid spirit of an Acrocorinth pinnacle that is home to 1000 sacred harlots.
Eleusis: a Cave of Pluto where, by torchlight and by hallucinogen, initiates journey to death and back.
Patmos: the volcanic island of "Mortality" where was envisioned Apocalypse. And above all: the mystic center of the ancient world, the Delphic Oracle, which is already unutterably ancient in 100 A.D. but has lost none of its arcane allure. In Mysterium II Greece the young Roman scholar Theophilus has arrived in Greece, where his local adventures begin with a puzzling and scintillating proclamation by the Delphic Oracle as to the true nature of Jesus Christ.
Theophilus has taken on, as his life's work, an investigation into the wonder of his epoch, namely the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.
His ultimate prize is to reach Judea to interview the last few eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus before it is too late.
However, all Christian literature is Greek-language literature.
Why? Greece conceals many enigmas. Awaiting Theophilus there stretches a long trail of far more clues as to the nature of the mysterium than he would have believed possible.
Greece is the second book in the Mysterium series. It includes a discussion guide for book clubs, journaling, or self-contemplation.
