Bishop Timothy Archer learns about the deciphering of mysterious Qumran scrolls, or Dead Sea scrolls. Part of the early Christian and Gnostic manuscripts speaks of a Teacher who lived more than 200 years before the birth of Christ. Archer begins doubting the foundations of his faith and sets out to search for answers in the Judean Desert. What awaits him there—death or transmigration of the soul?
This is one of Philip K. Dick’s most philosophical and realistic books. It is devoted to the mystery of religion and faith. Being in fact the author’s last book, it offers a unique view into the mind of a brilliant fantasist at the height of his spiritual and writing maturity.
"The last book of a master who changed style, tone, and pacing—yet remained as brilliant and gripping." — Cheap Thrue / Bruce Sterling
"The stakes in this book are hope and sanity. Dick wins. It’s time for reviewers and critics to pay attention to this elusive and incomparable artist." — Ursula Le Guin
"These are his last thoughts about life—an important work worth reading." — fantasyliterature.com
"A terrifying and magnificent book." — The Washington Post
