Publisher's Synopsis
Written as an impassioned letter to the pope, A Letter to the Vatican challenges the premise of many biblical teachings, laying out alternative viewpoints through reference to historical events. A continuation of Christer Hamre's debut novel Egyptian Symbolism - Three Stories Become One, Hamre once again skilfully deals with complex and nuanced debates, guiding the reader through a detailed exploration of key books in the Bible. The reader is taken on a journey ranging from challenging the historical accuracy of Moses' version of the creation in Genesis, to questioning the truthfulness of the New Testament gospels. Through breaking down the history of the Bible, A Letter to the Vatican invites readers to reflect on different perspectives relating to key events and biblical figures.
