Jesus: A Novel
Walter Wangerin
Walter Wangerin’s much-acclaimed retelling of the Bible as a novel, The Book of God, has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. Master storyteller Walter Wangerin now turns his attention to the life of Jesus Christ in this gripping new novel. The story starts with the young Jesus attending Passover in Jerusalem, where his mother tells him about the extraordinary events surrounding his birth. The focus then moves to Jesus’ ministry - his miracles, preaching and parables - and his interaction with a wide range of people before he starts the journey to Jerusalem for his final Passover, culminating in his crucifixion and resurrection.

Faithful to the gospel accounts and expertly retold, this is an engrossing read for all intrigued by the person of Jesus - Christians and non-Christians alike.

WALTER WANGERIN JR is the bestselling author of The Book of God. His story, The Book of the Dun Cow, won the National Book Award in the USA. He has since won many other awards for his books, which include Ragaman and other Stories of Faith, The Book of Sorrows and Paul: A Novel. He is writer-in-residence at Valparaiso University, Indiana, USA.


Jesus: A Novel has won the Gold Award in the category of Christian Novels in the annual Christian Broadcasting Council Media Awards. The judges praised the book as below:

"This was an epic novel, highly readable, earthy in style and evocatively written. Most importantly, this can be given to the most hardened of sceptics and a response would be expected."
