Quote:

(March 31) -- Imagine the discovery of a previously unknown Gospel of Mark, a secret text suppressed by church authorities that pictured Jesus initiating his disciples with a hallucinatory, nocturnal and quite possibly homosexual rite. Imagine the headlines, the four-alarm book promotion and the cable network special.

The authors of two new books insist that Professor Morton Smith planted double entendres and teasing hints of his own authorship in the manuscript he claimed to discover.
