I seem to remember borrowing a novel from my library in the mid-1990s called something along the lines of “Recrucifixion”. Unreliable human memory tells me that the book began with the discovery of a scroll containing an alternative chronicle of the christian belief system. It covered a schism between two groups in the early history of the movement [the bundle of sects that would eventually result in Roman Catholicism and the Eastern Orthodox belief systems, and Gnosticism, I think]. The story was told as a series of translations of the text as related by a scholar and a woman. The story ends with the grisly execution of the scholar and the escape of the woman [who I made out to be a goddess figure [she might even have been called “Sophia”].
There was, not surprisingly, a cross on the cover, and may have been some thorns too. I think the colours used for the cover were red and/or gold and white.
Do you know whether such a book was ever written? I have searched for this title online, but could not find it.
Am I imagining this book, do I have the wrong title, or is there some other reason I have not been able to find it?
[For example, poor search skills.]
Thank you
