The Osiris Testament completes the Phoenix Chronicles trilogy begun with The Gospel of the Phoenix and continued with The Way of the Phoenix. The Osiris Testament is a poetic look at humanity's creation and the development of Western mythic tradition from a new perspective. Just as the Gospel of the Phoenix set forth a new version of Jesus' life and The Way of the Phoenix offered a collection of new, original parables and proverbs, the Osiris Testament draws from Mesopotamian, Hebrew, Egyptian, Norse, Greek and Celtic sources to weave a new narrative corresponding loosely to the Pentateuch. As with its companion volumes, this work is for those who enjoy the works of Kahlil Gibran and Robert Graves, and students of the interplay between myth and ancient history.
