Synopsis
At an early age Gideon Mack abandons his faith in God, but that doesn't stop him from following in his father's footsteps and becoming a Presbyterian minister. When he falls into a ravine and is swept away by the river, he is presumed dead until he miraculously returns with disturbing news: he claims to have been saved by the devil. He's reviled and excommunicated, and then he disappears. Months later Mack's body is found in the mountains with his sacrilegious testament, and it is this fictional document that comprises the bulk of James Robertson's sly and provocative U.S. debut, a novel that presents one of the most personable and sympathetic visions of Satan since PARADISE LOST.

Publisher's Note
Surviving a deadly accident, atheist minister Gideon Mack is suspended from the church and publicly mocked for claiming he was rescued by the devil, a circumstance that forces him to go into hiding to record the unusual story of his life, marked by a repressive father and a spiritual awakening. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"THE TESTAMENT OF GIDEON MACK has arrived like an answer to some demonic prayer. James Robertson's provocative novel [is] a deeply unsettling story that will prick the faith of the devout, shake the confidence of atheists and haunt those of us who hover uneasily in-between."
