Honestly, so was the author. This isn't a history book, and it's certainly not a theological treatise. It's a story-a fictional reimagining born of curiosity, spiritual restlessness, and a deep desire to understand how the Church became what it is today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this richly imagined narrative, we travel back to a time of collapsing empires, rising doctrines, and fierce debates about sin, grace, and free will. Our story begins not in Rome or Jerusalem, but in the misty hills of Ireland, where a curious, dyslexic boy grows up among Druids, questions the gods, and eventually becomes the man we now call Pelagius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold through the lens of someone who quietly suspects he may be a bit of a Pelagian himself, this novel offers a different view of Church history-one that's more human than dogmatic, more searching than certain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Rt.
