Luke Montgomery (author)

Luke Montgomery is the author of the religious suspense thriller A Deceit to Die For, a 2012 novel concerning the 16th century Gospel of Barnabas. The book has aroused significant controversy, with Montgomery’s author website being blocked in Turkey,[1] but New York Times Bestselling Author Joel Richardson praised it, calling it, "...a political and religious tour de force. This book puts a face on the clash of civilizations unfolding in our day. Too true to call fiction, too gripping to put down."

An expert on Middle-Eastern culture and Islam, Montgomery holds a M.A. in linguistics[2] and writes a column about religious politics with the Washington Times Communities.[3] Montgomery lived in the Middle East for over a decade[4] and spent years visiting museums and historic sites to collect material for his writing.[5]

Luke Montgomery signed an international petition in support of Turkish pianist Fazıl Say after Turkish authorities prepared an indictment against Say for insulting Islam.[6]
