The architecture of faith is on trial. In a near-future America, defending Christian orthodoxy has become a federal crime.
The year is 2041. Under the draconian Science Reform Act, religious truth claims can no longer be publicly defended as factual. The Office of Statutory Inquiry (OSI) and the powerful, secular Athenaeum foundation have systematically dismantled Christian intellectual life. They have already dragged Dr. Christian Cross-a professor of apologetics in eastern Tennessee-through three grueling national trials.
Now comes the fourth and final front: Christian doctrine itself.
Over four intense weeks in a federal courtroom, Cross must face his ultimate intellectual and spiritual challenge: a high-stakes cross-examination by the brilliant, Oxford-trained philosopher Bram Frey. Driven by the Athenaeum's deep pockets, Frey intends to prove that the foundation of the Western Church-the Trinity, the Incarnation, and substitutionary atonement-is nothing more than a beautifully phrased contradiction.
Supported by his razor-sharp counsel, Aurelia Vance, and sustained by the legacy of his late wife, Cross stands as the final line of defense for a 1,700-year-old confession.
Written to stand alone as a gripping legal and theological thriller, The Doctrine Trial bridges rigorous analytical philosophy with the deeply human realities of grief, family, and unshakeable grace. Can the historic creeds withstand the cold light of public reason? Or will the keystone of Christian theology finally be ripped from the modern world?
