Robert Graves\'s controversial historical novel is a bold reworking of the story of Christ.
Here Jesus is not the son of God, but the result of a secret marriage - the descendant of Herod and true King of the Jews.
Written from the perspective of a lowly official at the end of the first century AD, King Jesus recounts Jesus\'s birth, youth, life as a charismatic \'wonder worker\' and the unorthodox, bitter nature of his death and resurrection.
Robert Graves\'s controversial historical novel is a bold reworking of the story of Christ.

Written from the perspective of a lowly official at the end of the first century AD, King Jesus recounts Jesus\'s birth, youth, life as a charismatic \'wonder worker\' and the unorthodox, bitter nature of his death and resurrection. Portraying Jesus not as divine but as a flawed human bent upon his own doom, this retelling of the gospels is a compelling blend of research, imagination and narrative power.
