Summary
The Fire Gospel is a reinterpretation of the myth of Prometheus that broadly satirises the publishing industry. The plot centres on an expert in Aramaic, Theo Griepenkerl, who discovers nine papyrus scrolls following the bombing of an Iraqi museum. The scrolls contain the lost gospel of Malchus, a servant who witnessed the Crucifixion of Jesus, and Theo's translation becomes a publishing sensation.[2]

gollark: Anything anyone disagrees on in any way is politics.
gollark: For any actual high-throughput writing I just use a computer, because anything else would be silly.
gollark: I also end up writing in a weird pseudocursive if trying to be fast.
gollark: It's just like a spinning ball, but not a ball and it isn't spinning. Simple.
