I really enjoyed reading this novel, which is deconstructing the story of the New Testament and it's moral certainties from a Jewish point of view. The holy men and women (and their antagonists) become again very human with all their vanity, narcism, desires and dreams. It's an interpretation of the Bible offering a possible story of what really happened 2000 years ago.
