You can only die the religious experience ( ) I really don't have a problem with the fundamental premise of this book. It was probably even more daring upon its first publication. My problem is with the main character's motivations for going back in time to observe Christ--to get back at his shrewish, emasculating, psychoanalyzing girlfriend, who is often shown being that special 60/70s-woman-written-by-a-man harpy with no real purpose but to drive KG to manfully prove himself by proving that God is real? I appreciate the protag having a "human" motive beyond proving God is real (a pretty compelling motive, actually) but actually that sucked. Which is a shame, because the fundamentals here are not bad. I've seen them before, but only in later works, which leads me to believe this may be one of the first iterations of this SF-nonbeliever type thing. no reviews | add a review

Meet Karl Glogauer, time traveller and unlikely Messiah. When he finds himself in Palestine in the year 29AD he is shocked to meet the man known as Jesus Christ - a drooling idiot, hiding in the shadows of the carpenter's shop in Nazareth. But if he is not capable of fulfilling his historical role, then who will take his place? No library descriptions found. |
