A story concept

A story concept
I had a story concept revolving around faith and I wanted some opinions on it. There is this old man, diagnosed with late stage prostate cancer, and he was a career linguist. He has been widowed for many years and has most of time and money for 20 years collecting rare and ancient texts. he met an egyptian man that was very very wealthy, and had found a entire cache of texts left in excellent condition from the library of alexandra, and instead of annoucing it, he sold them privately. Now this linguist's wife was a archeologist that was killed when muslims attracked her dig site many years ago. and he has from the egyptian two texts. One is written in the hand of the author of luke addressed to a man named theolopolis, explaining in great detail how the account of jesus and the apostles was faked, and the other from a close follower of Mohamed explaining him and his goals in accurate detail.
what do you think?
any ideas you can offer are welcome.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Nah, people would have to actually hear about it to be offended by it.

@lemon: is this gonna be a nano by chance? Been kicking ideas around myself.
