Rey Jesus

King Jesus is one of the most controversial historical novels of all time. In it, Robert Graves has summoned his superb narrative powers, his painstaking scholarship, his wit & unsurpassed ability to recreate the past, to produce a magnificant portrayal of the life of Christ on earth.
"This is the history of the wonder-worker Jesus, rightful heir-at-law to the dominions of Herod, King of the Jews, who in the fifteenth year of the Emperor Tiberius was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate. Not the least wonderful of his feats was that, though certified dead, & laid in a tomb, he returned three days later...King Jesus (for he was entitled to be so addressed) is now worshipped as a god by a sect known as the Gentile Christians." So begins Agabus, an Alexandria scholar writing toward the end of the 1st century AD.
"Superb narrative powers, painstaking scholarship, wit & imagination guarantee that this fictional portrayal of the life of Christ will be not only magnificent but controversial."--Book of the Month Editorial Review Board
