This is Volume One of Mr. Luguya's three volume thriller about the devil's desire to claim his due, and one man's journey to hell and back.In this riveting theology-fiction, Christian Mjomba, a seminarian with a runaway imagination, has an assignment to turn in a thesis on “Original Virtue”; and he is tempted to use the Evil One, the Father of Lies who also masquerades as the Angel of Light, as his mouthpiece for expounding on the dogmas of the Church! He imagines that if he succeeds in doing that, he will effectively make Diabolos work for the salvation of souls instead of their damnation! And for that, unbeknownst to him, he becomes a marked man. And yes, incredibly, Mjomba succeeds in tricking the Ruler of the Underworld into working against his own interests and helping him craft a thesis that looks like it is a definite winner! But, brilliant as that accomplishment is, is it really worth the price that is exacted by the Evil One and has to be paid by the unwitting Mjomba?THE COLUMBIA REVIEW OF BOOKS & FILM: Humans, The Untold Story of Adam and Eve and their Descendants, by Joseph M.

Product Description:
This is Volume One of "Humans, the Untold Story of Adam and Eve and their Descendants." "Humans" is riveting theology-fiction in which Christian Mjomba, a student of philosophy and theology with a runaway imagination, is determined to turn out a winning theological thesis. He is tempted to employ the devil, the Father of Lies who masquerades as the Angel of Light, as his mouthpiece for expounding on the Church's dogmas and he falls for bait! He imagines that, if he succeeds in bringing this off, he will effectively make Diabolos work for the salvation of souls instead of their damnation! And for that, unbeknownst to him, he becomes a marked man. This is a theology-fiction fest in which the main character (Mjomba) dies and continues the dialogue on the other side of the gulf that separates the living from the dead! He doesn't discover that he had actually been demon-possessed for the better part of his life, starting from around the time he quit the seminary to return to lay life, until the moment he sees the Ruler of the Underworld, at the head of a column of demons, bearing down on him with the obvious intention of dragging him to his assigned dungeon in the belly of hell.
