Set in first-century Palestine, the narrative explores the life of Jesus, marked by miraculous events and profound teachings, as he navigates temptations and conflicts with religious authorities. Amidst the hopes of the Jewish people for liberation from Roman rule, his apparent detachment raises questions about his true identity as the Messiah. As his mother, Mary, worries for him, the story builds towards a pivotal confrontation in Jerusalem. Wangerin masterfully crafts a compelling tale, populated with rich characters that resonate across time.
