"what is contained in that parchment is beyond anything in your imagination"

"You don't know presicely, then, what is in those documents from Salonika."
"What does it matter? At the worst, theological debate. Doctrinal eqivocation. A man existed and his name was Jesus of Nazareth...or the Essenian Archangel of Light...and he spoke from the heart. His words have come down to us, historically authenticated by the Aramaics and Biblical scholars, Christian and non-Christian alike. What difference does it really make wheter he is called carpenter, or prophet, or the Son of God? What matters is that he spoke the truth as he saw it, as it was revealed to him. His sincerity, if you will, is the only issue, and on that there is no debate."
---Robert Ludlum, from The Gemini Contenders
