From the Publisher:

In this brilliant and original book, following his Pulitzer Prize-winning God: A Biography, Jack Miles explores the life of Jesus as an episode in the history of God. Writing neither as a theologian nor as an historian but as a literary critic, Jack Miles has captured once again the lost, fierce, ecstatic power of the greatest classic of our literature.
