- Summary:
- Returned to life, Lazarus's experience of death has left him fragile and disoriented and he has sensed nothing of an afterlife. As he turns to Jesus for guidance, while observing his friend's growing mystical powers and influence, he finds their lives becoming dangerously entwined. This compelling yet subtle work of fiction places Jesus in the historical context of ancient Jewish practice and tradition, he is at once a charismatic rabbi and a political activist who uses his awareness of a transcendent reality, culminating in the Kingdom of Heaven to try to bring justice to his people together with a broader compassion for humankind.
