Sudarium

Elizabeth Barnes, a brilliant agnostic scientist, recovers and uses DNA from a legendary burial cloth -?the Sudarium -?to impregnate herself and give birth to a clone of Christ, creating chaos for her daughter and the world. When the identity of this 30-year-old woman cloned from Jesus is revealed, the media go wild, and people everywhere react. Her name is Jennifer, and she is not exactly a poster child for the Church. She has lesbian friends, uses he/she pronouns for God, and fights against domestic violence. The saying 'You're a child of God'?takes on new meaning as her life is put in danger, she starts to fall for an FBI agent, and global conflict between religions escalates. Sudarium?explores what it means to live with integrity and courage as a person of faith. It disrupts stale views about gender among Christians and invites its readers to pursue their spirituality with fresh eyes in the context of radically loving oneself and others.
