This book felt more like a stand-alone novel than the finale of "The Jerusalem Chronicles". I think the main reason was due to the fact that in the first two books Jesus was a focal character, but in this one he only had a secondary role which was ridiculous considering the title and content of the story. The only time I felt moved was when Jesus and Philo first met. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, which should have been the powerful highlight, felt rushed and skimmed over. So, whilst I enjoyed following the story of Claudia, Pilate's wife, and Marcus, a Roman centurion, I felt disappointed with this book. It certainly wasn't up to the authors' usual high standard.

"Behold the Man is the culmination of the Jerusalem Chronicles and brings readers to an encounter with the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. How could Jesus--who preached righteousness before God, and love and mercy toward neighbors--be so hated and pursued? To the Temple officials, he was a threat to the livelihood and authority of the priesthood. To Herod Antipas, he was a threat to his ambition to be the King of the Jews. And to the Roman overlords, he was seen as a dangerous threat; a man who commanded an army of the common people. He could heal wounds, offer miraculous provisions, and even raise from the dead. If Jesus had accepted popular acclaim and become an earthly king, he would have been unstoppable. Jesus's last days are explored through three people who interacted with him: Governor Pilate, for whom Judea will either make or break his career; Pilate's wife, Claudia, desperately seeking aid for her much loved, crippled son; and Centurion Marcus Longinus, caught in the middle between loyalty to the Empire, love for Claudia, and an ever-increasing belief in Jesus as the Son of God. After encountering Jesus, none of them will ever be the same"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
