In the dusty streets of ancient Judea, a man named Jesus grapples with his divine calling. As his teachings draw crowds, he faces the looming threat of Roman occupation and the machinations of religious leaders. Burgess's reimagining of the Gospels is a richly textured exploration of faith, power, and the man at the heart of one of history's most transformative stories.
