The Last Temptation of Christ by Nikos Kazantzakis

5.0

This book is brilliant. The theology isn't quite mine--indeed, I wouldn't call it orthodox--but the story is fascinating and, I think, a worthy read for any Christian or non-Christian. It is similar to Anita Diamant's The Red Tent in that it takes a set of well-known stories from the Bible and retells them from perspective(s) that are not present in Scripture. For many readers, this will bring new life into an old story; for others, it will raise new questions; for still others, it will allow them to experience an entertaining what-if narrative. An epic, excellent, exceptional book.
