Dead or Alive: The Roman Empire's Hunt for the Resurrected Rebel Jesus

Father Thomas Mann is jolted awake by an urgent call from his closest friend, an archaeologist claiming he has unearthed an ancient Roman manuscript frozen in ice-a text that could rewrite the history of Jesus Christ.

Under house arrest in a secluded monastery, Thomas has three months to decipher the scrolls before they're destroyed. The manuscript tells the story of a disgraced Roman tribune, ordered by Governor Pilate and Emperor Tiberius, to hunt down the resurrected Jesus-dead or alive. As the tribune and a ruthless rival bounty hunter search for the elusive rebel who defied death by crucifixion, Thomas wrestles with his deepest beliefs and questions the foundations of his faith.

Should the world hear the story, or should some histories remain buried?

Dead or Alive is a gripping, thought-provoking thriller where faith and history collide in the nascent days of Christianity.
