Reincarnation

Fiction

“Mike Lowis’s creative reworking of the story of Melchizedek in Genesis 14 interweaves biblical themes of the Garden of Eden, the flood, God’s sovereignty, and human freedom, with perennial concerns of nationhood and international trade agreements. A figure of blessing and redemption to the people of Salem, Melchizedek is reimagined not just as a man for our time, but outside of time itself, offering an individual view of what is meant by an eternal priesthood.”
