“Written in a vivid and engaging style, The Cloak and the Parchments brings to life intriguing discussions amongst the first followers of Jesus as they try to gauge his message and his stature. Set as a journey to Rome, Mark, the earliest gospel writer, is caught between Peter who clings to the Jewishness of Jesus and Paul who is willing to make radical changes to open up the religion to the non-Jewish world. So who was Jesus really? And what did he teach? As the story unfolds - and with Peter and Paul facing martyrdom - Mark is hard pressed to make a decision."
