About This Item
About this Item: Random House, New York, 1997. Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Book is VERY FINE in an AS NEW priced (22.00) dust jacket. For two thousand years, the brief ministry of a young Nazarene preacher has remained the largest single determinant of Western civilization's triumphs and disasters. Norman Mailer has written a novel about Jesus' life. Is God speaking to me? Jesus asks, Or am I hearing voices? If the voices are from God, why has He chosen me as His son? Such a question for a nice Jewish boy. Mailer will try to answer it. VERY FINE AND COLLECTIBLE.
Synopsis
Norman Mailer fused fact and fiction to create indelible portraits of such figures as Marilyn Monroe, Gary Gilmore, and Lee Harvey Oswald. In The Gospel According to the Son , Mailer reimagines, as no other modern author has, the key character of Western history. Here is Jesus Christ’s story in his own words: the discovery of his divinity and the painful, powerful journey to accepting and expressing it, “as if I were a man enclosing another man within.” In its brevity and piercing simplicity, it may be Mailer’s most accessible, direct, and heartfelt work.
