The Last Temptation of Christ
The Last Temptation of Christ is a monumental reinterpretation of the Gospels that brilliantly fleshes out Christ’s Passion. This literary rendering of the life of Jesus Christ depicts a Christ far more human than the one seen in the Bible. He is a figure who is gloriously divine but earthy and human, a man like any other—subject to fear, doubt, and pain. Nikos Kazantzakis follows Jesus as he struggles to live out God’s will for him, powerfully suggesting that it was Christ’s ultimate triumph
