Hi all--especially Charles!
I've just submitted for validation American Savior: A Novel of Divine
Politics by Roland Merullo.
It has been read and cleaned-up. Headers stripped; chapter titles and page
numbers protected. Ranked spelling over 99%. A couple of misspelled words
are left as they appear in print.
[Book Jacket]
Roland Merullo's novel American Savior posits an inspired "what if"
scenario: What if Jesus, alarmed at how the earth's most powerful nation has
lost its spiritual footing and dismayed at how His own teachings have been
distorted--used by politicians and religious zealots to turn love into
hatred and faith into a call to arms-- returns and announces that he is
running for President of the United States? What if He becomes a third-party
candidate, is heralded as the Son of God, and not only threatens to disrupt
the status quo but poses a serious threat to the already established
Democratic and Republican candidates? What would happen? How would the media
react? And, more important, how would we react?
Narrated by a more than slightly cynical young TV reporter, American Savior
puts the reader inside the campaign waged by what is quickly dubbed the
Divinity Party and follows Jesus and his modern-day disciples as they travel
across the nation making speeches, reaching out to the people, and in the
process arousing the ire of those who believe they know God, and who know,
most assuredly, that this is not He.
Enjoy!
Deborah
