Much like Paul Park's The Gospel of Corax, Graves pretty much disregards the gospels. Unlike Park's novel, this one presents a noble, transcendent leader whom - unfortunately - no one understands.

Like other works by Graves, this one was way over my head. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374516642, Paperback)

King Jesus, long out of print, 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 and unsurpassed ability to recreate the past, to produce a magnificant portrayal of the life of Christ on earth.
