About this book
Gibran retells the life of Jesus through the voices of some seventy people who claimed to have known him. A few are familiar from the Gospels, Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, Pontius Pilate, Caiaphas. Others are invented onlookers: a Persian astronomer, a Greek apothecary, a philosopher, a grieving widow. Each speaks in a short monologue, remembering the man from Nazareth in a different light, so the portrait builds not from doctrine but from many clashing human impressions. Written in the poetic, aphoristic voice Gibran made famous in The Prophet, the book treats Jesus less as a theological subject than as a poet and rebel who unsettled everyone he met.
