Product Information
From the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author comes the gripping true story of a sensational religious forgery and the scandal that shook Harvard. In 2012, Dr. Karen King, a star religion professor at Harvard, announced a breathtaking discovery just steps from the Vatican: she'd found an ancient scrap of papyrus in which Jesus calls Mary Magdalene "my wife." The mysterious manuscript, which King provocatively titled "The Gospel of Jesus's Wife," had the power to topple the Roman Catholic Church. It threatened not just the all-male priesthood, but centuries of sacred teachings on marriage, sex, and women's leadership, much of it premised on the hallowed tradition of a celibate Jesus. Award-winning journalist Ariel Sabar covered King's announcement in Rome but left with a question that no one seemed able to answer: Where in the world did this history-making papyrus come from? Sabar's dogged sleuthing led from the halls of Harvard Divinity School to the former headquarters of the East German Stasi before landing on the trail of a Florida man with an unbelievable past. Could a motorcycle-riding pornographer with a fake Egyptology degree and a prophetess wife have set in motion one of the greatest hoaxes of the century? A propulsive tale laced with twists and trapdoors, Veritas is an exhilarating, globe-straddling detective story about an Ivy League historian and a college dropout--and how they worked together to pass off an audacious forgery as a long-lost piece of the Bible.

Reviews
"'Turn the lights low,' said the famous Harvard professor, 'and imagine that I'm in a trance.' This astonishing book--part detective story, part exercise in reporting conducted at its highest level--reaches hold of you by the shirt collar and doesn't let go. Here is a gallery of types that have surrounded Christianity since its earliest beginnings: the professionally cynical, the frankly mercenary, and the profoundly faithful. It is a tale that takes us from the offices of two Harvard presidents to, perhaps inevitably, that of a Florida pornographer. Exciting on every level, it poses the deepest question of faith: does it depend on the scholarly verification of ancient fragments or on what Heaney called a journey 'into the marvelous?' I was bowled over by it." -- CAITLIN FLANAGAN , author of Girl Land "Sabar's meticulous reporting shows how quickly the first victims of a forgery turn into con men themselves, desperately manipulating the evidence to keep plugging holes in a forger's fragile story. A masterful portrait of desire and a gripping analysis of a scandal that reveals the blurred lines between scholarship, faith, and lies. An unprecedented contribution to the study of forgery." -- DR. ERIN THOMPSON, art crime professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and author of Possession: The Curious History of Private Collectors from Antiquity to the Present Ariel Sabar is an excellent investigative journalist explaining in detail a con that could have changed all of Christianity. Whatever the scam, the con artist and the victim both have an agenda. -- FRANK ABAGNALE , author of Catch Me If You Can VERITAS is a fascinating journey into theology and academia, meticulously researched, well-written, consistently engaging. -- GREGG EASTERBROOK, author of It's Better Than It Looks, "This astonishing book--part detective story, part exercise in reporting conducted at its highest level--reaches hold of you by the shirt collar and doesn't let go.

ERIN THOMPSON, art crime professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and author of Possession: The Curious History of Private Collectors from Antiquity to the Present "[An] intriguing religious/true-crime story involving a possible wife of Jesus...[A] fascinating tale." --KIRKUS REVIEWS "Sabar has written a true story of mystery and intrigue...blending religious history with a tale of deception...Well-researched, engrossing." -- LIBRARY JOURNAL "A work of exemplary narrative nonfiction...fitting neatly into the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction category...Provocative and probing." -- BOOKLIST/American Library Association (starred review) "Ariel Sabar is an excellent investigative journalist explaining in detail a con that could have changed all of Christianity. Whatever the scam, the con artist and the victim both have an agenda." -- FRANK ABAGNALE , author of Catch Me If You Can "VERITAS is a fascinating journey into theology and academia, meticulously researched, well-written, consistently engaging." -- GREGG EASTERBROOK, author of It's Better Than It Looks "In this entertaining outing, journalist Sabar ( My Father's Paradise) tells the story of a mysterious scrap of papyrus and the scholar who staked her professional reputation on it... this meticulous account is packed with enough intrigue to keep readers piqued" -- Publisher's Weekly
