It starts in the desert. John the prophet lowers Jesus under the
Jordan's muddy waters and pulls him up, just as a bird swoops down
to skim the river's surface. It spreads next to Galilee, where some
welcome Jesus as a disciple of John and others grow wary of his
rising influence-fishermen are leaving their nets, tax collectors
their offices, and students their masters to listen to this new
saint. After abandoning his nets, Andrew ties knots in the threads
of his shirt to remember Jesus' teachings. After escaping his slum,
Judas waits for Jesus to call down the legions of angels who can
end a broken world. But just as Jesus' movement in the north is
gaining strength, he turns south toward the Temple and a fate his
followers will struggle to understand. "The Five Books of Jesus,"
James Goldberg's lyrical novelization of Jesus' ministry, tells the
story of the gospels as Jesus' followers might have experienced it:
without knowing what would happen next or how to make sense of
events as they unfold.
