Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Jacobs45edf76073fc8204ba5adec5870047f3453dfd28Welcome to Gospel Thrillers, a digital companion to my new book Gospel Thrillers: Conspiracy, Fiction, and the Vulnerable Bible (<< click link for purchase options!).
This site is a clearing house of information for the collection of the thirty or so novels under analysis in Gospel Thrillers: summaries of the novels, links to reviews, and information about authors; discussions of thematic content that inform my analysis of the novels; links to current events that seem to draw on the persistent motifs and desires evident in the gospel thrillers; and a few "extras" including reviews and other media!
