New Novel Questions the Foundation of the Modern Christian Church
Toronto, Ontario (PRWeb) March 24, 2007 -- In The Magdalene Code, author Edmund Kwaw explores the speculation and mystery surrounding Mary Magdalene, including her relationship with Jesus Christ, and considers the possibility of today's popularized theory that the Christian church was in fact founded by Mary Magdalene, not the apostle Paul.
In The Magdalene Code, Mary Magdalene writes and buries a sacred scroll in a secret cave in Israel's Hebron Valley. Almost 2,000 years later, the scroll falls into the unsuspecting hands of a professor and renowned paleographer, whose subsequent murder sets into motion a horrifying sequence of events with disastrous repercussions for whoever possesses the sacred text.
When an NYPD lieutenant comes onto the scene, he quickly finds himself entangled in a chilling web of international subterfuge, conspiracy and terror, spun by extremist elements at the Vatican and a covert satanic cult. Each group seeks to possess the scroll for different reasons, and it is up to the lieutenant to keep the revered scroll from falling into the hands of either of the groups.
While The Magdalene Code is a work of fiction, author Edmund Kwaw draws from some remarkable theories that, if true, could potentially rock the core of Christianity. A controversial and well-researched thriller, The Magdalene Code is sure to intrigue and captivate readers.
