City of Belem. Sunday, 8:18 AM. Mass has already begun.
A man wearing a white tunic and a scarlet mantle draped over his shoulder - with long hair and blue eyes - enters through the main door of the Sé Cathedral. A crowd follows him.
He ascends the altar, tears down the crucifix, and smashes it on the floor. Approaching the microphone, he shouts:
I am CHRIST
The police are called. Chaos ensues. As guards storm the premises, the man walks unhurriedly out of the cathedral. Outside, more than ten thousand people await him. The crowd parts for him but closes ranks against the police, letting him pass.
This happened in 1982. And it is real.
His name is INRI Christ. Over the last few decades, he has been arrested more than forty times in various countries. He has given thousands of interviews, never once backing down from a question. He founded the SOUST church. He has gathered followers across several continents. And to this day, no one - no journalist, no doctor, no authority figure - has managed to rigorously prove who he truly is. Until a psychologist knocked on his door...
Not to debate, but to investigate. He proposed the unthinkable: a complete clinical analysis, without restrictions or a pre-set script. He proposed putting his sanity to the test scientifically, leaving no room for faith or opinion. To his surprise, Inri Christ agreed.
For over a year, the psychologist had access to something no other researcher had ever seen: the daily life, history, and mind of a man who claims to hear the voice of God. What he discovered is recorded, point by point, in this book - and it follows a logic that leaves no room for middle ground.
Interrogations that tested every gesture, every word, and every silence in search of a crack in the facade. The Rorschach test - the very tool used to unmask psychopaths and decipher minds - is administered to a man claiming to be the Messiah, yielding a surprising result. A reconstruction of the man's life before he donned the white robe: who he was, what he lost, and the precise moment everything changed.
And, in the end, a verdict.
This book does not ask for faith. It asks only that you follow the investigation - piece of evidence by piece of evidence - to the inevitable conclusion the author was compelled to reach, despite being, in his own words, a scientist without faith
Messiah. Liar. Crazy.
Only one of these three words can be true.
You are about to discover which one it is...
