When a pasha arrives looking for women to add to his harem, Medora is stolen away from him by Conrad and his band...
...scholars to see the Gospels less as factual truth than as a product of faith and early Christian politics. He also examines the recent archaeological finds that revved the debate. Detouring occasionally (describing, for instance, a DNA study of the goats whose parched skins were used for the Dead Sea Scrolls), he picks and chooses among the available theories to arrive at a kind of aggregate anti-Gospel...
