Comprised of two novellas and five short stories from one of science fictions most renowned contemporary authors, this volume is a collection of all of Mike Resnicks works that deal with religious themes. From the story about the nature of killing to an offbeat interpretation of the coming of the Messiah at the end of the 21st century, these tales are all conversations elaborating Resnicks philosophies on God, Jesus, the Wandering Jew, and other elements of religion. Thought-provoking and irreverent, these stories exemplify some of the great work from this award-winning author.
