In this investigation of faith and legend, award-winning journalist Trotta follows the footsetps of the New Testament's most elusive saint through Italy, Turkey, the lands of old Armenia, and the United States in search of the shadowy origins, history, and sacred sites of Jude Thaddeus. As though guided by Jude himself, Trotta encounters an extraordinary number of meaningful coincidences, synchonicities which are the very heart of the Jude experience. In every city, at every turn, her sleuthing seems led by an invisible hand, drawing her down narrow alleyways, toward rarely seen relics, to converssations with miracle-seeking people with AIDS. Each experience an added tile, this portrait of Jude emerges as a beautifuly rendered mosaic, filled with colorful history, strange artifacts, and stories of the maraculous powers of faith.
