Fascinating Detail brings Jesus' days to life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nazarene (Paperback)
Apart from the consideration that many of the details in the story must be inspired imagination only, it is still inspired, and sheds light on the Israel of Jesus' day very vividly. All those books folk say bring the New Testament to life, this one really does it! To be read and appreciated by Christians of whatever stream - even if the 'regression to a former life' by the narrating character is at odds with Christian belief - pass that by as literary licence, as I belive the author intends it, and enjoy the rich dialogue, cultural insights, and enigmatic way 'The Nazarene' makes his way into the story.

I have read in Portuguese language. Very interesting. Doubts,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nazarene (Paperback)
I have read this book in portuguese language, translated by a very known brasilian writter, Monteiro Lobato, in its third edition. This book, in portuguese, is very difficult to be found. Only used books can be found to buy. I think that Mr. Asch committed a mistake regarding Mirian of Migdal relatives. If I am not wrong, there was three Mirians. One was Jesus's Mother. The other was the Marta's sister, also Eliezer or Lazaro's sister. And, finally, Mirian of Migdal. Mr. Asch confounds these last two. Anyway, it was very interesting description of Jesus history, mainly for myself because I really believe that we reencarnate every time in order to become a more perfect human being.
