Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
In the two millennia since Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote their separate biographies of Jesus, only a handful of other authors have attempted renditions--Charles Dickens, Leo Tolstoy and D.H. Lawrence have tried their hands at it; scholars E.P. Sanders and Raymond Brown have produced academic treatises on the historical Jesus. Perhaps the best-known fictional account of the life of Jesus is Nikos Kazantzakis's The Last Temptation of Christ, which explores the Son of Man's all-too-human side. Norman Mailer joins these ranks with The Gospel According to the Son.
Not content to chronicle Jesus' life in the form of an apocryphal gospel, Mailer has the audacity to crawl inside his title character's head and tell the story from the first- person point of view. Here we get the Prince of Peace's personal account of his temptation by Satan, his three-year ministry and his agony on the cross. Mailer presents an entirely new kind of passion play, one that remains faithful to the shape of Jesus' life as outlined in the gospels, while daring to imagine the inner life of this most elusive historical figure -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

Format:Taschenbuch
When I saw that Norman Mailer had written a book about Jesus I expected a searching biography of the man. For some reason I didn't expect Mailer to closely follow the Gospels. But he did, and I was disappointed. I already read the Gospels, more than once. I'd like to read a book that leaves out all supernatural occurrences and just focuses on a human being who has been very influential. This isn't the book. Personally, I don't believe in the miracles reported in the Bible, and I was hoping for an incisive biography of a great man. The book I want on this subject hasn't been written yet, I guess.
Format:Taschenbuch
I picked up this book because Norman Mailer had written it. Not that I had ever heard of it or knew what it was about. What an enjoyable experience! I loved the struggle Christ had with his humanity and divinity. I think that truly captured what it must have been like or at least a glimpse at a possibility. My only critisim is the ending, I either didn't get it or it seemed weak compared to the rest of the book. The final two pages? But all in all a good read, quite profound and I am giving it to my son for Christmas!

I couldn't imagine how Mailer was going to tackle this one.It's obvious he did his homework beforehand. I wasn't expecting sucha beautiful work. My favorite account was when Jesus spent 40 days and 40 nights in the desert and how He might have felt. It reminds us how human He was...even though this IS a work of fiction.

Easy read and rewarding
I am still trying to wonder weather it's the character or the Mailer's language that did not have depth. I had strong mixed feelings of both at different places. Lesen Sie weiter...

A beautiful story, simpy written
This is a book to be absorbed, not critiqued. The image of Jesus as human and divine comes through realistically. Lesen Sie weiter...

fundamentally mistaken
In many ways this reminds me of Marion Bradley's Mists of Avalon: beautifully and persuadingly written and so completely believable if you enter the world of the author's... Lesen Sie weiter...

Doubting Jesus
Mailer was on to something when he decided to write the story of Jesus from Jesus' perspective. But more often than not, I think he missed the boat. Lesen Sie weiter...

written as if by the hand of the father...or mother
With this tale, Mailer wafts the elusive smell of truth our way. Why bother to characterize it. Why judge; why synopsize. Lesen Sie weiter...

Mailer has congealed the soul of small gch christianity
Having read little of Mailer, and less of the Bible, and as a christian not of an Institutional belief, I enjoyed the story. It helped unblock two intellectual channels. Lesen Sie weiter...

A legend battles to "bottom-line" another legend's life.
This book is not entirely disappointing. It was a great read and Mailer is one of America's foremost authors--without a doubt. Lesen Sie weiter...
