Summary
Focuses on the childhood of Jesus, from Alexandria to Galilee in the turbulent 1st century - the story of the boy who was born to be King of the Jews, the 'ultimate supernatural hero, the ultimate outsider, and the ultimate immortal'. Based on the Gospels, the author recreates these years of drama, confusion, and enlightenment.
Summary
