The author, who teaches philosophy and religion at American River College in Sacramento, Calif., supposes that the ancient fertility cult of the Mother Goddess and the Dying King lingered on in Palestine until the lifetime of Jesus Christ and coexisted uneasily with the Judaism of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Clysta Kinstler's first novel ventures into a less well explored patch of alternative history. There are plenty of examples of this sort of alternative history on the fiction shelves. Suppose that the Confederates had won the Civil War or that Hitler had won World War II. Suppose Queen Elizabeth I had been assassinated and Spanish Catholicism had triumphed in England.
