  1. 1. A Life Of Jesus

    A contemplative, novelistic retelling of the life of Jesus that foregrounds his humanity, suffering, and moral paradoxes; through vivid scenes and intimate reflection it probes questions of faith, doubt, compassion and betrayal, asking how the figure of Jesus challenges modern sensibilities and inviting readers to wrestle with the mystery of grace and the cost of discipleship.
