by Daniel Quinn | 03 November 1997
PAPERBACK
From the author of the critically acclaimed, award-winning bestseller Ishmael  and its sequel, My Ishmael,  comes a powerful novel with one of the most profound spiritual testaments of our time   "A compelling 'humantale' that will unglue, stun, shock, and rearrange everything you've learned and assume about Western civilization and our future."-Paul Hawken, author of The Ecology of Commerce   Father Jared Osborne has received an extraordinary assignment from his superiors: Investigate an itinerant preacher stirring up deep trouble in central Europe. His followers call him B, but his enemies say he's something else: the Antichrist. However, the man Osborne tracks across a landscape of bars, cabarets, and seedy meeting halls is no blasphemous monster-though an earlier era would undoubtedly have rushed him to the burning stake. For B claims to be enunciating a gospel written not on any stone or parchment but in our very genes, opening up a spiritual direction for humanity that would have been unimaginable to any of the prophets or saviors of traditional religion. Pressed by his superiors for a judgement, Osborne is driven to penetrate B's inner circle, where he soon finds himself an anguished collaborator in the dismantling of his own religious foundations.    More than a masterful novel of adventure and suspense, The Story of B  is a rich source of compelling ideas from an author who challenges us to rethink our most cherished beliefs.   Explore Daniel Quinn's spiritual Ishmael  trilogy:  ISHMAEL  MY ISHMAEL  THE STORY OF B
