Letter: Letters : . . . . .

The article describes a very plausible scenario that might have occurred and given rise to the biblical story. In fact, it was just as plausible the first time I read it…in a science fiction book entitled Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus, written by Orson Scott Card and published in 1996 for Tor Books by Tom Doherty Associates, New York.
