For nearly two millennia, religious leaders across the globe have sought The Epistles of Jesus, but not for the benefit of their adherents. Churches want to suppress them, fearful that these writings would ever see the light of day. Governments have joined in the competition to possess them, desperate for a way to gain power over these same entities that for centuries have influenced the minds and hearts of their communities. These efforts have been deflected by a Council founded by Aulus Septimius, a diminutive but driven scholar of 2nd century Egypt. Rescued from destruction during the early formation of Christianity, The Epistles – letters written by Jesus Christ – show his true perceptions and values, insights that are certain to challenge the status quo, impact lives and institutions, and possibly disrupt entire cultures.
