Product Description:
In the midst of retirement, Sherlock Holmes is lured into what he believes to be a simple missingperson case. While investigating his new case, an apparent miracle saves his life and causes him to begin to question his own worldview. His client, the lovely and devout Miss Elizabeth Hackberry, off ers him an explanation for the lifesaving miraclean explanation that challenges all that he knows and believes. In his endeavor to prove or disprove Miss Hackberrys belief that God was the One who saved his life, Holmes reaches the conclusion that he must personally investigate the most controversial, ancient mystery of all timethe death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As a result, Holmes and Dr. Watson set out on a dangerous journey to Jerusalem. Along the way they face imprisonment, slavery, starvation, sheiks, and evil spiritual practitioners. An Opened Grave most likely will find its way into the hands of doubting friends and family members of the Christian audience. The story draws us into an ongoing debate between Homes and Watson as they endeavor to rule out the impossible, and leave us only with the Truth. Though not intended to be a treatise on apologetics or doctrine, An Opened Grave credibly and respectfully addresses most of the popular and philosophical objections to belief that are held today.

This a not a true Sherlock Holmes mystery, It is a poor way of pushing right wing Christian beliefs,

Sherlock Holmes is more real to me than "Jesus Christ" is. There is no historic proof of Jesus' existence. Zero.

I was skeptical about this story being too cliche, but James has done a marvelous job of barely toeing the line between logic and imagination.
I mean, it's only logical that the greatest detective in history should tackle the greatest mystery of them all - the story of Christ.
This is not strictly a Sherlock Holmes story, nor is it a religious pamphlet - it is a well-written debate between science and religion, and it deserves respect for its clarity and poignancy.
I would definitely recommend it to any Holmes fan or any Christian.

This is a pretty good story, but it is the exact same book as L. Frank James' "A Study in Truth." Buyer beware!!!

When I picked up this book, I was prepared to be dissapointed. Sherlock Holmes meets salvation? What?! What kind of cheesmo blather would this bring? Being a Christian, I was worried that Christian commercialism would reduce the great detective to a shallow, watered-down flake.
But no! The game was quite afoot! I was pleasantly surprised by the book's creative and truthful combination. I was a bit skeptical about the time-traveling, but I forgave it as creative liscense. The adventure theme of the book was quite entertaining, and I was overjoyed when the Sherlock Holmes bowed his knee before Jesus. (Kind of gave me the shivers!)
Altogether, I was not disappointed. I did think that both Watson and Holmes callled each other "my dear fellow" a lot more than they did in the orignal Sherlock adventures, but...oh well. Just a little peeve. Not enough to make me lower the rating to 4 stars.
