The book describes a fictional story alternative to the life of Jesus Christ, as shown in the Bible. It begins with the conception of Jesus in the spiritual presence of God. The birth of Jesus is announced by a mysterious figure who claims to be an angel. Later, in Bethlehem, Jesus was born in a cave, and three ministers (including the "angel") come to visit.
As described in the Gospel of Matthew, Herod receives a premonition of the birth of the "King of the Jews" (in the Gospel, which is informed by the Magi, in the book, however, is visited in his dreams by the prophet Micah ) and plan the killing of newborns. Joseph learns of the plan but make the mistake of not alerting the community but aims to ensure that your child is safe first, this causes the wrath of God and Joseph, innocent and knowing, is punished for the rest of his life, condemned to dream that kills the child you just had.
Later, when Jesus comes to thirteen years, Joseph was crucified by the Romans, who mistakenly confuse it with a rebel zealot. From the night of the death of his father Jesus inherited his nightmare. Learn about the killing of his mother, and grows apart from his family, among those who no longer can live in peace. He leaves the family and Nazareth and made his way to Jerusalem, where we visit the Temple, then to Bethlehem.
works as an apprentice to a pastor (called The Pastor is defined as the Devil and the mysterious "angel" mentioned above). Pastor teaches you to appreciate your work, and not to another what is one. Finally, meets God in the desert. God force Jesus to sacrifice his favorite sheep and says he has a destiny for him. When Jesus returns he tells what happened to Pastor, the old man rebuke and asked to leave because he has not learned anything. Jesus makes his way back home across the sea of \u200b\u200bGalilee, where he discovers an amazing talent for catching many fish, and Magdala, where he meets and falls for Mary Magdalene, and then goes back home to Nazareth. Jesus
is not believed by his family, leaving them again, marries Mary Magdalene and goes to work helping the fishermen in the Sea of \u200b\u200bGalilee. One day he went to sea alone is visited by God and the Devil. God speaks of his plan for Jesus founded Christianity, because God is angry at being only the God of a race, and the other gods seem to get all the glory. Jesus is in principle against what he sees as a selfish plan of God forcing him to endure great suffering, but God really does see that he has no choice, because God is Almighty.
Jesus became a prophet of God, continuing miracles and preaching. It was to stop himself in a bid to thwart the plan of God, and tries to destroy its own credibility, trying to die as a son of Joseph, not God, saying to the priests: "I am the Son of Man." However, the novel ends with Jesus crucified and realizing that in fact nothing changed and although the plan of God still stands, that after all he had done the will of God when believed to follow and when I thought not.

Note: If you wonder why I posted this book ... the answer is more obvious than you think: A great writer, person and as you can imagine, an atheist. And of the two fictional stories about Jesus, I prefer this version of the Gospels (block better with the Old Testament - but another work of fiction).
