Back cover

Every correction our time makes seems to land a little beside the mark. This short book asks whether that is an accident or a plot. It states its conditions before reading a single verse, and names the results that would prove it wrong. Then it reads three ancient texts through them: Genesis as the beginning, Romans as the bridge that sees both the beginning and the end, and Revelation as the end. The book was written in dialogue with a language model, and every prompt is published. You do not have to trust the author. You can check the reading.

The book is the companion to the film of the same name, the first of seven in A Tale of a New Era.
