What if? What if Jesus had not died on the cross?

How would he have lived his remaining years, and what would he say about his life, his ministry, and his alleged death? In this fictional account, told from the perspective of Jesus, readers encounter an alternative version of his life both before and after the crucifixion.

It asks us to imagine that Jesus, having been rescued from certain death, ends up in Alexandria, where he marries and has a family. When he discovers a scroll describing his ministry--the Gospel of Mark--he notices many points where he disagrees with the way his story has been told, and he decides to find the author in order to give his own version of events.

This novel helps us reimagine not only the familiar Gospel accounts but also the possibilities for the historical Jesus' life and ministry.
