The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by Saramago Jose
Saramago's Jesus is the son not of God but of Joseph. In the wilderness he tussles not with the Devil a kindly and necessary evil but with God, a fallible, power-hungry autocrat. And he must die not for the sins of the fathers but for the sins of the Father.
