On earth, the novel revolves around the friendship of a brilliant, charismatic astronomer and a talented linguist born on the same day. The two men also happen to share a lover, a woman of simple beauty who is a gifted cellist. These relationships, both intellectual and intimate, produce several intriguing conversations about science, art, and theology, and a child of uncertain paternity. The child's birth is closely followed by a number of mysterious accidents, spirited affairs, untimely deaths, and other acts that reveal the influence of higher powers. Quinten, the star-fated child, has a mission from on high to return the covenant God made with man before he was led astray by science and the dark influence of the devil. An engrossing, and at times comic, story of theology and science, angels, and earthly desires, is cleverly told in this hugely ambitious novel. 85295 book 1992 The Discovery of Heaven total:547|5:260|4:182|3:69|2:19|1:17| 547 2290 860 72 4 2 false false Fri Oct 24 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 13:53:28 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 12:35:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Jun 22 10:29:48 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 22 10:35:30 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Nov 13 04:12:13 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 05:23:36 -0800 2009 Sicherlich habe ich längst nicht alle Ebenen des Buches ergründen können, ers...more...]]> 4 1 true false Mon May 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 09:03:43 -0700 2008 Mon May 12 12:15:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jul 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 09:17:04 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 09:22:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sat Jun 14 13:34:05 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 14 13:35:53 -0700 2008 The book was great, it drags you into the story and will not let you go until you finish it.
