Produktbeschreibung
The life of Christ, rewritten by an award winning storyteller in the form of a novel, narrated by his mother, Mary, and a beloved disciple.
A mysterious birth, temptations in the wilderness, miraculous healings, radical teachings, conflict with religious leaders, friendship with outcasts - life with Jesus is never dull. But where is it all leading? In first-century Palestine, countless hopes and dreams are placed upon him. Can he lead the Jews to triumph over the Roman oppressor? Is he really the promised one, the messiah? But Jesus seems strangely detached, determined to go his own way. As Mary fears for her son, he turns his face towards Jerusalem and the inevitable confrontation. Using all the skills of a master storyteller, Wangerin creates a world at once specific and universal, inhabited by rich and absorbing characters. The timeless story of Jesus of Nazareth has never been so compelling.
