Reconstructed Mystery

WHO MOVED THE STONE?--Frank Morison--Century ($2.50).

When Author Morison was a young man (he is now 45), much interested in the historical figure of Jesus, he was not satisfied with "its overgrowth of primitive beliefs and dogmatic suppositions, planned to write a book giving the true history as well as he could reconstruct it, of Jesus' trial, crucifixion, death. When he came to write the book, his investigations and deductions led him to a different interpretation from the one he had in mind. His problem finally resolved itself into the title of his book: who moved the stone from Jesus' tomb? Author Morison's book is written like a detective story, suspense false clues and all. But the answer, held back till the last chapter, will come to many readers like an anticlimax after a breathless prelude. Author Morison's answer is: Jesus Himself.

"Frank Morison" is a pseudonym. His publishers call him "a fairly well-known British writer," say he is no parson.
