Theologians have long hypothesized about the existence of a source from which the Gospels were derived - the Source of the Good News. Archaeologists working for Uday Hussein uncover the Source at a first century site in Iraq. Unaware of what they possess, the Iraqis hire Professor Otto Knechtle to translate the scroll so that it may be sold on the black market. The Americans think they know what the Iraqis have discovered, and make a series of failed attempts to obtain it as they prepare a buildup towards the Second Gulf War. But only Otto Knechtle really knows the truth. The Source of All Good News is a contemporary international thriller. It is a Christian response to books such as the Da Vinci Code, exploring the nature of faith and revelation.
