Throughout Matthew's gospel, the gentle insistence and power of divine authority consistently cuts through the tangled
jungle of human error and ignorance: «You have heard how it was said of old... But I say to you» (Mt 5, 33 - 34) · Christ prepares the disciples, and especially Simon Peter, to be bearers of this divine authority.
Through twists
of fate, curses, and just plain
human error, they find themselves deep in the
jungle, where they encounter a tribe awaiting the return
of the leader and the mythical book
of wisdom that will protect them from the ravages and destruction
of the Myanmar military regime.
