Product Details
Have you ever wondered about the world’s first language, which suddenly disappeared at the Tower of Babel? In his debut novel, The First Silence: The Reliquary of Iona, Michael J. Morris explores this idea through history, academia, and faith. The First Silence follows Daniel, a graduate student at Trinity College in Dublin. Through his studies, he begins to discover clues about this mysterious ancient language. An unexpected and cryptic letter from a long-lost friend only further ignites Daniel’s pursuit of truth. Travel from Dublin, Ireland to the Vatican archives, to the secretive Iona to uncover secrets of the past and present.
"Not a language that evolved gradually into the linguistic families we know today, but one shattered by divine will. Torn apart by God, who deemed mankind unworthy to wield it." This literary thriller poses challenging questions of Catholicism, truth, knowledge, and faith. The First Silence is haunting and suspenseful, presenting the dangers of forbidden knowledge and the search for truth, as well as the significance of language and faith. Author Michael J. Morris received his Ph.D. in Biblical studies from the very same Trinity College where the novel is set. This paperback copy of The First Silence by Michael J. Morris is 332 pages, and measures 6”x9”.
