The Gospel Probe

ISBN-10: 059536327X
We believe what we perceive to be true. Our truths are often led to us by various others, who, in turn, believe what they perceive to be true. What would you think though, if all of our beliefs were based on what somebody else wants us to believe? Confused? Let Myron Curtis, in his novel, "The Gospel Probe," explain it to you.
The year is 2287 and finally H.G.Wells' vision of a time machine of sorts has been invented. In a battle between the two largest religious sects, one following the Old Testament and the other following the newer, to be deemed "right," scientists and a few other choice specialists will travel back in time to the days of Christ and his trial, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension. The goal is to prove by first hand accounts the existence of Jesus and the subsequent events that the Gospels were based on.
Rajulk is the main explorer of this time period and through his eyes we see the events unfold. Disguised as a traveler he encounters the people, hears the rumors of not one but two prophets, and sets about gathering "evidence" in the form of audio recordings and a visual recording of a crucifixion. He comes away with much more than he expected after risking his life among the Roman guards. Will the Pope get his wish, and see his "mission to prove the veracity of the gospels and discredit satanic counter efforts" fulfilled? Will the world see the truth or continue on seeing what someone else wants us to believe is fact?
Myron Curtis brings forth a highly interesting thought. The book is intriguing and interesting. As a whole, I feel the story was told well and shows promise to be somewhat controversial for a work of science fiction.
