• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A high-fantasy account of reality as seen by one of Satan's brothers, sure to appeal to lovers of both fantasy and Christian literature. -Kirkus Review I, Jetebais becomes an almost revolutionary text. The book does not pretend to know or preach easy answers to life's struggles, nor offer comforting remarks on why evil exists. And in that alone lies the genius behind the fiction. Choosing to seek atonement for ones actions is a very personal journey fraught with self-doubt, fear, and mistrust. It is this experience which shape who we are, and who we become. And as I, Jetebais shows, the cleansing and redemptive power of such a quest can rival that of any evil on earth, no matter how sinister. Fans of mythology and Christian writings will surely find something to love about Bishop's ground-breaking saga. -Pacific Book Review I, Jetebais is a work of Christian fiction by author Robert Martin Bishop. Focusing on the deep philosophical questions that plague mankind about the nature of good and evil, the story kicks into gear with central character Jetebais's descent from Heaven. The story develops into an overall world view focusing especially on the leaders of mankind who we expect to be pillars of good in the community, along with the grim reality that this is not always the case. The influence of evil on humanity points out the modern human race's central flaws, prompting a debate about forgiveness and the power of Satan. Robert Martin Bishop writes exceedingly well with a complex and literary vocabulary that will appeal to select audiences searching for an intellectual read. I believe it would also be highly beneficial for readers to be more familiar with the dogma of Christianity and the Bible because there are numerous references that would be more rewarding to the story if they are understood in a biblical context. That said, I found that I was still able to enjoy the central story line and the questions it raised about human nature, and especially the temptation of evil in the corruptions of politicians and other important leaders of the world. I, Jetebais is much more a considered work than a character or plot-driven piece, but the winding story line definitely results in a fascinating and unexpected conclusion that's well worth reading to reach. Overall, I, Jete

Autorenporträt

Life as "Pastor's kid" in 1960's Bristol, Connecticut immersed Robert Martin Bishop in theology. The divisions that existed between the churches in that town, such as nuns from the Catholic Church being forbidden by their priests to walk on the sidewalk in front of the Lutheran Church across the street, shaped his thinking about the vast differences that can exist, even between similar faiths. This led him to ponder the integration and separation that is inherent in the story of the Angels and Satan. Bishop was a prolific writer in college, penning short stories and poems in his free time. It was then that the story of Jetebais began to form in his mind. After retiring from Sales and Management, then retiring from teaching High School, he has been able to devote himself to writing.
