Bryan Publishes First Novel


The Rev. Christopher Bryan, author of seven well-reviewed academic texts and the editor of the Sewanee Theological Review, has just released a novel “Siding Star” (published by the Diamond Press), which is available in paperback and Kindle e-book editions. Bryan is the C.K. Benedict Professor of New Testament, emeritus, at the School of Theology in Sewanee.

“Siding Star,”which will appeal to fans of authors as diverse as Dan Brown and Frank Peretti, weaves the Christian symbolism of Bryan’s profession into a complex thriller. The story ties together a British policewoman’s investigation into a secret, power-hungry society and a quiet astronomer’s unexpected discovery of something even more threatening: an exploded star that is hurtling toward Earth. 

The novel received a starred Kirkus review: “Bryan’s heroes aren’t just likable but lovable: intelligent, amusing, hard-working, even kind to animals. In contrast, the novel’s villains are truly spooky and disturbing; readers are always aware of  the urgency of stopping their evil plans. An enjoyable novel of spiritual mystery and adventure—well plotted, intelligent and deeply moving.”
