Book: Gospel According To Jesus Christ This is the life of Christ told from man's perspective. Saramago's Jesus is the son not of God but of Joseph. Mary Magdalene is his lover not his convert. In the wilderness he tussles not with the Devil - a kindly and necessary evil - but with God, a fallible, power-hungry autocrat. And he must die not for the sins of the fathers but for the sins of the Father. By investigating these simple inversion Saramago has woven a dark parable: a secular gospel of astonishing richness and depth.
