Christ: A Crisis in the Life of God

In this thought-provoking exploration, Jack Miles examines the figure of Christ as a literary hero, framing the story within the context of art rather than doctrine. He proposes that Christ's story, as depicted in the New Testament, reflects a transformative act by God amid a time of profound crisis for the Jewish people under Roman rule. Miles’s eloquent analysis invites readers to consider the narrative of Jesus as a powerful reinterpretation of victory and defeat, emphasizing its enduring literary and philosophical significance.
