Gospel According to Jesus Christ

byJosé Saramago

Genres: Historical fiction

Who is this book for? Readers interested in philosophical explorations of faith and human existence.

Topics Faith and BeliefIdentityPower

MoodReflective, Mysterious

For Saramago, the life of Jesus and the story of His Passion are things of this Earth: a child crying, a gust of wind, the caress of a woman half asleep, the bleat of a goat or the bark of a dog, a prayer uttered in the gray morning light. This beautifully rendered work of prose by one of Europe's most respected writers is a defiance of the authority of God the Father, but not a denial.
