JAY TYSON provides answers to some of the most vexing problems of the faithful today:
--If religions are supposed to teach people to be good toward each other, why can’t the religions themselves get along?
--If God is the creator and educator of all humanity, how can one religion be right while all the others are wrong?
--And most significantly, if all of the religions are expecting the coming of a Promised One, a Messiah or a Return of their Messenger, how can all of their differing expectations be reconciled? And why has His coming been so long delayed?
Two-thousand years ago, the Wise Men of the East successfully transcended the divide between the Persian East and the Roman West to find Jesus beyond the confines of their own country and religion. This novel suggests how, at the dawn of modern age, wise men from the West could have achieved something very similar, in their search for the Promised One at that time.
Mr. Tyson was raised in a Presbyterian household but always questioned whether faith might be something more universal than the limited lessons he had been taught. Why, he wondered, had God regularly sent Messengers in the past, but then remained silent for the last 2,000 years? Now, he realizes that he was seeing only the tip of an iceberg—there was so much more to be uncovered. Through their search in the East in 1844, the Wise Men of the West are able to discover much more knowledge and many insights, of which most people in the West, even today, remain largely ignorant.
Although written as a novel, this work is firmly grounded in historical facts, and concludes with a non-fictional epilogue.
Join the Wise Men of the West as their search proves successful beyond their wildest imaginations, and beyond the imaginations of most people even today!
