Cloning Jesus Book

Summary: A gripping thriller about scientists who want to clone Jesus, opponents who want to stop them, competitors who want to steal the research, and concerned individuals who point out the serious consequences of such an undertaking. Very interesting thoughts about science and Christianity, the origin of the species, and the meaning of life. Fascinating surprise ending. Story line: When linguist Lisa Maxwell goes to the Basque Country to seek the origin of the Basque language, she soon finds herself tangled up with some enigmatic characters in a small mountain village. Who is stealing relics from the major cathedrals in Europe? Who is the physician that flies in by helicopter to examine some little boys, and what does he want from them? What sort of research is being carried out in the state-of-the-art biotechnology laboratory? Soon more questions begin to emerge. Who are the Basques, and why is their language unique? Are they a race apart? What happened to humans after the Fall? What role does Rh-negative blood play here? How do genetics and linguistics combine to unlock the mystery of the origin of humankind? Can creation be reconciled with evolution in a brand new way? Is it possible to clone Jesus? If not, why not? If so, what are the consequences? Sonia Harrison Jones, a PhD from Harvard in Romance Languages, presents some creative, intelligent answers to these questions and many others in this fascinating first novel. What readers are saying: I LOVED it!  For me the test of a good book is that when I'm not reading it I'm thinking about it and trying to figure out when I will be able to get back to it, and that definitely happened with this book. - Julie Graveline, retired Canadian Naval Officer This is a masterpiece!! It was a real gripper. My wife and I almost fought for the computer. There is much of the "intellect apologetics" in the book about the tragedy of using Christianity to gain power. The last chapter of Cloning Jesus, I think, highlights "living apologetics." Great! - Rev. Clarence Vos, pastor and retired professor, Calvin Seminary, Grand Rapids, MichiganRead More
