Over all looms the monumental reality of Sophia, a star not easily eclipsed by the shadow of struggling statehood. Sophia plays an Austrian Jew smuggled into the country to help the Israelis find her hated husband, a German war criminal who is now chief strategist for the Arabs' tank corps. She arrives suitably sweaty and distraught, stowed away in a packing case with a power lathe and a corpse. Moments later, her fabulous eye makeup intact, she rackets off to tantalize Finch, soon dons bikini-brief work clothes that scandalize his dedicated kibbutzniks. Her subsequent search leads to Haifa...

Schweitzer rejected both the empty tomb and the Resurrection as legendary, stressing that they were unnecessary to the truths proclaimed by Jesus in his teachings. Schonfield claims that as a Jew he has no need to torture the no-Resurrection theory into some form of support for Christianity, but he does not discredit Christ.
