Sinossi
Il Gesù Cristo di Saramago, da alcuni cristiani ortodossi ritenuto blasfemo, è un carattere fortemente spirituale, ma in tutto e per tutto umano, che incarna i dubbi e le sofferenze propri della condizione universale di uomo. Il figlio di Dio, dalla nascita a Betlemme alla morte sul Golgota, affronta le medesime esperienze descritte nel Vangelo, qui però narrate secondo una prospettiva terrena, con spirito critico e senso logico. In questa storia non c'è fede nei miracoli, bensì coscienza di trovarsi in balìa della volontà di potenza di un Dio padre distante e indifferente al dolore che provoca. La serie di disgrazie, stragi e morti che costellano l'esistenza di Gesù, fino al non cercato e non accettato compimento del destino di vittima sacrificale, diventa così un'occasione per riflettere sulla contrapposizione tra bene e male, sulla problematicità di fare il giusto tramite l'ingiusto, sull'imperscrutabilità del senso della vita umana e sulla sconcertante ambiguità della natura divina.

Recensioni
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 José Saramago put his hand to the quill and looked back… He looked back deep into the past… …thought, when all is said and done, as others and we ourselves have observed bef Leggi tutto
There are two topics that are both sensitive and ‘dangerous’ to discuss both in our everyday lives and in an online forum – politics and religion. I refuse to get into discourse on either subject even with the majority of close friends and family members. I have to know someone quite well and trust Leggi tutto
Ένα ριζοσπαστικό ευαγγέλιο. Οι άνθρωποι ειναι ετερώνυμοι του καλού και του κακού. Ο Θεός και ο Διαβολος συνυπαρχουν. Χωρις το κακό δεν μπορεί να υπάρχει το καλό και αντίστροφα. Σε καμία περίπτωση δεν θα μπορούσε να επικρατήσει κατα κράτος το καλό και η αγάπη,δεν έχουν λόγο ύπαρξης χωρις το κακό και Leggi tutto
Jose Saramago is atheist. This should be enough warning for everyone that desires to read the book. It is very explicit and so religion it’s exposed at its weakest and God as a character is revealed. I come from a Roman-Catholic background but I still wanted to read it, ever since the Gnostic gospel Leggi tutto
دع انجيلك جانبا و من باب أولى أيضا لا علاقة لهذا الكتاب بما ورد عن المسيح في القرآن. إن كنت قد قررت الدخول و خوض التجربة فاعلم ان هذه رواية و ليست انجيلا جديدا و لا كتابا في اللاهوت. رواية بها كل اضطررابات الكاتب و تناقضاته و نفسه القلقة و روحه الطامحة للحرية. ماذا أراد ساراماجو أن يقول في هذا الكتا Leggi tutto
Pe José Saramago nu l-au interesat lacunele biografice din evanghelii. L-a preocupat o singură întrebare: de ce a fost răstignit Iisus? Numai ca să șteargă păcatul oamenilor? Știm răspunsurile teologilor (sfîntul Augustin, sfîntul Anselm). Sînt, negreșit, mai multe și nu se împacă prea bine între el Leggi tutto
I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SLIP SOME BENZEDRINE INTO THIS GUY’S COFFEE This is a very peculiar novel. I’m not quite sure what the hell it is. Some of it reads like deleted scenes from Monty Python’s Life of Brian Now be off with you, said God, for I have work to do and can’t stay here chatting all day Or Mar Leggi tutto
The Vicar was not happy that I was reading, ‘Gospel according to Christ’ for he felt I would lose my faith, as though Faith is not a part of your inner being, but a handkerchief, one misplaces oh so casually. I am glad I disobeyed him, for this book only made me surer of my faith. This book shows Chri Leggi tutto
