AN ANCIENT TEXT, THOUGHT NOT TO EXIST, HAS BEEN FOUND. AND THE FIGHT TO DESTROY IT HAS JUST BEGUN.
In the thirteenth century, a battle for control of Christianity raged, pitting the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II against Pope Gregory IX. Both men claimed to be the legitimate leader of the Christian faith, and both would stop at nothing to attain their goal.
Enter the Treatise of the Three Imposters.
Pope Gregory accused Emperor Frederick of penning a text so blasphemous, so vile, he couldn’t possibly remain in power. Gregory asserted Frederick had put in writing his belief that Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed were all imposters, and had lied to their followers.
It was explosive.
And most historians, including Archaeology Professor James Acton, believed it to be a mere baseless accusation.
A fraudulent claim that became known as The Heretics Bible.
But today, when the text is found, all hell breaks loose, as both pious and atheist alike stop at nothing to possess the ancient tome, leaving Acton and those he loves caught in the middle once again as three of the world’s major religions, and those who believe in none, clash.
