The Zaddik, A Story of James and Paul (The Jesus Chronicles)

The Zaddik, a Story of James and Paul, is an exciting new historical thriller recreating the history of the first century, based upon new interpretations of the Dead Sea Scrolls. While academics debate the place the Dead Sea Scrolls hold in history, some scholars have proposed that four books found at Qumran, were first century manuscripts, describing the battle between James and Paul after Paul's attack on the Jerusalem Assembly, led by the family of Jesus. James the Just, the Zaddik of Jerusalem, was the uncontested leader of the Church of Jesus in the thirty years following the Crucifixion; until his savage murder, which led to the onset of the Jewish War with Rome. All proceeds from the sale of The Zaddik, a Story of James and Paul will fund RESCUE DETROIT, a not-for-profit company, dedicated to the renewal and renovation of the city of Detroit. From the introductory Open Letter to the Citizens of Detroit and America, the author challenges American's to contribute to the re-population of the city of Detroit; a city ravaged by the history of racism in American. This novel will help build a New Detroit; a city where no person should go uneducated and no person wont from lack of a higher education. RESCUE DETROIT is dedicated to founding Zaddik University, an institution devoted to the non-sectarian study of God.
