The Book of DieselThe Light Before the Gospel“Centuries later, a Judean teacher would speak with a Samaritan woman about this mountain and Jerusalem. The old Persian inspection would be forgotten, but the problem remained: whether the Father could be confined to the location whose priesthood controlled the story.”
The Book of Diesel · Gospel Threshold Edition v4.5
Historically anchoredThe setting or public event is documented; dialogue, motives, and recurring characters are invented.
Archaeology and inscriptions indicate a Yahwistic sacred precinct on Mount Gerizim with roots in the Persian period and major development in the Hellenistic period. The precise form and chronology of the earliest sanctuary remain debated.
The Persian inspection, Natan, Farnaka, and their conversations are fictional. The rival sacred center, inscriptions, sacrifices, and close relationship between Samarian and Judean cultures are historically grounded.
