Reading Jesus is a personal journey through the fundamental Biblical stories. As celebrated author Mary Gordon ponders the intense strangeness of a deity in human form, unresolved moral ambiguities within the text, and the problem posed to her as an enlightened reader by the miracle of the Resurrection. What she rediscoversand reinterprets with her signature candor, intelligence, and straightforwardnessis a rich store of overlapping, sometimes conflicting teachings that feel both familiar and tantalizingly elusive.
