520    "In 2012, Dr. Karen King, a star professor at the Harvard 
       Divinity School, announced a blockbuster discovery at a 
       scholarly conference just steps from the Vatican: She had 
       found an ancient fragment of papyrus in which Jesus calls 
       Mary Magdalene "my wife." The discovery made front-page 
       news around the world - if early Christians believed that 
       Jesus was married, it would threaten not just the celibate,
       all-male priesthood, but the entire the 2,000-year history
       of the faith. Biblical scholars were in an uproar, but 
       King had impeccable credentials as a world-renowned 
       authority on female figures in the Gnostic gospels. The 
       "Gospel of Jesus's Wife," as she titled her discovery, was
       both a crowning career achievement and powerful proof for 
       her arguments that there were alternative, and much more 
       inclusive, versions of Christianity from its beginnings. 
       Assigned to write a story about King's find, award-winning
       journalist Ariel Sabar began to unearth disquieting 
       questions about the papyrus. His globe-spanning 
       investigation would lead to a rural hamlet in inland 
       Florida, where he discovered a college dropout with a 
       prophetess wife, a curious past in Germany, and a tortured
       relationship with the Catholic Church. The deeper Sabar 
       dug into the mysteries of the "Gospel of Jesus's Wife," 
       the more surreal the story became. VERITAS is at once a 
       surprising detective story, a fascinating journey through 
       the rarefied worlds of Biblical Studies and Egyptology, a 
       piercing psychological portrait of a many-faced con artist,
       and a tragedy about a brilliant scholar handed a piece of 
       ancient paper that appealed to her greatest hopes for 
       Christianity--but forced a reckoning with fundamental 
       questions about the line between reason and faith"--
