Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A nuanced and delicate retelling of the Gospels, new to Penguin Modern ClassicsRobert Graves's controversial historical novel is a bold reworking of the story of Christ. Here Jesus is not the son of God, but the result of a secret marriage - the descendant of Herod and true King of the Jews. Written from the perspective of a lowly official at the end of the first century AD, King Jesus recounts Jesus's birth, youth, life as a charismatic 'wonder worker' and the unorthodox, bitter nature of his death and resurrection. Portraying Jesus not as divine but as a flawed human bent upon his own doom, this retelling of the gospels is a compelling blend of research, imagination and narrative power. King Jesus' controversial treatment of the scriptures and questioning of the canonical gospels caused an immediate outcry when the book was first published.
