In the deadly silence that followed I seemed to hear the words again and again, like an echo from the marble walls of the banquet hall, "...the head of John the Baptist...the head of John the Baptist!"

Without forsaking responsible scholarship, 'Beyond This Darkness' invites us to travel back, to let the centuries unravel until, hair standing on end, we find ourselves in first-century Palestine, watching wonder unfold.
