The Passion of the Baptist, not the Christ?

Belica feels the whole role of the Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) in religious history should be reevaluated.

Step by step, his book carefully and plausibly resurrects the reputation of the Baptist, not as a minor gospel figure, the forerunner of Christ, but as a major prophet in his own right.

Nordic Mysteries: The Millennium Trilogy

Ralph Stone shares his thoughts on the latest edition in the series by Stieg Larsson.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - I highly recommend the movie, "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," based on Swedish mystery writer Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. The other two books are "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest."

What is compelling about the Trilogy is the complex characters, the fast-paced story telling with interesting plots and sub-plots. The books are long and very political.
