Greatest Story Ever Told

The Greatest Story Ever Told: A Love Story is a speculative fictional rendering of the famous plotline of our past. It takes into account the amazing similarity of many ancient religions, all based on the Holy Science as documented by astron masters of ancient times. It also delves into the reasons behind our existence, and path to enlightenment. It dabbles in exposing the corruption of some of these themes over time, and postulates a few theories as to why this might be.Princess Miriam is an Aaronite priestess and gifted scholar who has studied at the famed communities of Therapeutae and Qumran. Kept from ministering to those in need in Galilee, she ventures out disguised as a young waif named Meri.Yosef of Arimathea is the Crown Prince of Ireland, and a Davidian Prince protected by the sharp-witted zealot, Judas, who in his infinite wisdom to keep Yosef safe, has him masquerading as a carpenter in search of work. The two meet while both are in disguise, but when introduced properly he presumes her to be spoiled and petulant. She thinks him arrogant and rude. The intense chemistry between Yosef and Miriam–both as herself and the waif Meri–is hindered by her long standing engagement to Joseph ben Matthan, and the fact that she can't seem to control her hostility towards him.In an effort to humble Yosef's pride, Meri sets out to enlighten him on a number of topics, including the allegorical secrets of the Holy Science that religions seem to have hidden throughout time. Her expertise in theology, philosophy and the science of the stars are illuminating, and Yosef finds himself alarmingly attracted to the waif. Although he knows he should put distance between them, he finds every opportunity to seek out the boy's company, unwittingly putting Miriam's reputation at perilous risk.
