Literature at its finest

I bought this book while browsing through a used bookmarket. It was only 25cents. At the time I was studying theology at a school that was simply draining me mentally and spirtually and I found myself slowly drifting away from God. Part of the reason why I picked up the book was to try to fall in love with Jesus again - to hear a different voice speak about his life. Let me tell you, this is the finest book I've ever read on Jesus' life. Its not a critical biography, or a theological history - rather its written as a piece of dramatic literature. It was one of the few books I've read that was actually breath-taking. I can only liken it to reading Martin Luther, when you come across a certain saying of his that just jumps off the page and grabs you by the scruff of the neck. Papini has managed to do the same thing. His book is a balance of being incredibly thought-provoking, beautifully written, and orthodox as far as I could tell. Anyone who loves Christ, whether you are an evangelical, Catholic, or Orthodox will benefit from reading it.
