Jerusalem, 1963 - A Greek Catholic priest, Isa Rashid discovers a small cave in the slope of a nearby  hill. His friend, "Billy" Eduard Albert Meier, removes the rubble partially obscuring the entryway, crawls inside, and exhumes a set of ancient scrolls wrapped in animal skin and encased in a dry, crumbly resin. Upon their examination, faded yet fully legible pages of Aramaic text reveal a 2000-year-old biographical narrative of a man named Jmmanuel who devoted his life to teaching.

Having translated 36 chapters of the scrolls from Aramaic to German, Isa Rashid ultimately paid with his life when he and his family were assassinated by the powers that be, but not before 36 chapters were sent to his friend in Switzerland who then assembled the text into the form presented in this book.
