Book Reviews of Jesus in Love
Book Review: A great read
Summary: 5 Stars
Did you ever wonder what it might be like to be the Messiah? This book will give you an idea: it's a narration of the events described in the gospels, but from Jesus's standpoint. It's not so much a historical novel as a spiritual one. The author makes clear that she's not necessarily trying for a historically accurate picture of first century Palestine. Rather, the Jesus here is the Jesus constructed by 21st century Christianity.
Even as a non-believer, I found the book fascinating. It presents a fresh and often surprising picture of Jesus, and realistic (if fictional) portraits of some of his followers. I suspect that a Christian believer would find it a powerfully moving experience. Even though there are gay characters, those seeking scandal will be disappointed. This is "Jesus in Love" (with the world), not "Jesus in Lust".
The style is lucid and highly readable: even though the book's length (more than 300 pages) was at first daunting, the book almost reads itself. It stops about halfway through Jesus's ministry; I look forward to the second volume.
