from the jacket... The Blood of the Lamb is a riveting novel of the next Millennium. It centers on Peter Carenza, a handsome, charismatic priest working in a Brooklyn parish. In his thirtieth year Father Carenza discovers he has miraculous powers-to heal the sick, raise the dead, walk unscathed through fire. Summoned to the Vatican by a secret tribunal, Peter learns that his powers are no simple act of God-they are the fulfill- ment of a scientific experiment inspired by vision and prophecy. Rejecting his supposed divinity, Peter flees to America, intending to vanish in the country's heartland. But "Father Peter," as he comes to be known, soon finds himself at the forefront of a grow- ing, mobile congregation whose odyssey of preaching, healings, and other miracles is televised to a waiting world. The media blitz is orchestrated by a beautiful an- chorwoman, Marion Windsor, who is captivated by Father Peter's message- and by Peter Carenza, the man.
