In the year 2035 humanity is rescued from a lethal solar flare by seven mysterious beings and transported across the universe to the uninhabited planet of Ansar. Earth's major cities are recreated, and a stunned but thankful humanity mostly carries on with life and society. But is everything as it appears? Just who are the semi-omniscient beings who rescued them? What do they really want? And to what secret place do they retreat every night? With that appearance of the seven, all the old divisions concerning gender, privilege, and power re-emerge in unexpected and increasingly dangerous ways. Conspiracy theories abound. Among those searching for answers are Joy, a gay commercial artist, and her friend, Leo, a widowed theology professor and Vatican consultant. In the end, the truth may prove more costly than either imagined.

Industry Reviews

“A brilliant and inventive work of spiritual imagination. Pegis has written a novel that grapples with some of the most pressing issues we face—social justice, human sexuality, the ever-expanding influence of technology—to name a few. The core of the story is a testament to the eternal, that feeling of standing outside time as we search for meaning. It pulses through every page as the characters look for signs of the sacred in a future world which feels strange and unfamiliar.”
—Alexandria Barbera, Contributor, Women in Theology (blog)

“Pegis tells a gripping story with theological underpinnings, in the vein of Walter Miller’s Canticle for Leibowitz, Mary Doria Russell’s The Sparrow and Children of God, and Michael Flynn’s Eifelheim. The God Painter is a major new contribution to this fascinating subgenre of science fiction.”
—William D. Lindsey, editor of Fiat Flux
