Evil Gods and Reckless Saviours

“"Timo Eskola provides a provocative examination of contemporary Jesus novels, arguing that they not only reinterpret but also frequently pervert traditional notions of Jesus. He marshals an impressive knowledge of literary adaptations of the Gospels, present-day literary theories, and theology. His insightful analysis of the Nietzschean roots of Jesus novels as well as their submerged anti-Judaism will invite discussion and debate about the nature of God and faith.”
