Reviews
"Miles is a master, provocative and accessible, in presenting a God who is ambivalent, hesitant, moody, offhand, remote and opaque.... All in all, this is the most compelling page-turner of the year." --Bill Bell, New York Daily News "The brilliance of Jack Miles's new book on Christ is that it manages to "make strange" the best-known story in history." --Edward Skidelsky, The New Statesman "...an erudite and provocative literary tour de force that would make a perfect Christmas or Hanukkah present for believers and nonbelievers alike. It is truly impossible to catalog all of the literary riches in this reinterpretation of the New Testament." --Susan Jaccoby, Newsday "As a way of seeing, Miles's book has great power and depth. Though he does not try to solve the problem of evil, his book gives us, with horrid clarity, the vision of a culpable, guilty, and finally atoning God..." --James Wood, The New Yorker "The faithful may be disturbed by Miles' reading of the Bible as a portrait of a God capable of changing his mind... But Christ: A Crisis in the Life of God is, like Miles' previous book, a stimulating, challenging work. --Charles Matthews, San Jose Mercury "...a daring critic who can provide his own translations of Hebrew and Greek. Regardless of our agreement or disagreement with him, he prods us to read these familiar stories afresh, with all their original suspense and drama, his analysis serving as an invitation for our own." --Ron Charles, Christian Science Monitor "...a literary vision of Christ with more insight, warmth, and verve (not to mention chutzpah), that have been seen...for many a year." --Peter Heinegg, America "This American ex-Jesuit...is a resuscitation artist. His style is exceptionally riveting. His theses are daring, his perspectives astonishing, his insights as daring as they are witty." --Ludger LŸtkehaus, Die Zeit, Hamburg, "Miles is a master, provocative and accessible, in presenting a God who is ambivalent, hesitant, moody, offhand, remote and opaque....

Synopsis
Five years after his everywhereacclaimed, brilliantly successful, Pulitzer Prizewinning book about God as portrayed in the Old Testament-God: A Biography-Jack Miles gives us his striking consideration of Christ. He presents Christ as a hero of literature based only in part on the historical Jesus, asking us to take the idea of Christ as God Incarnate not as a dogma of religion but as the premise of a work of art, the New Testament. As this story begins, God has not kept his promise to end the five-hundred-year-long oppression of the Children of Israel and return them to greatness. Under Rome, their latest oppressor, the Jews face a holocaust. This is God's supreme crisis. Astonishingly, God resolves the dilemma by becoming a Jew himself, Christ, inflicting upon himself in advance the very agony his people will suffer, revising in the process the meaning of victory and defeat. By dying and rising as Christ, God not only swallows up the historical defeat of the Jews but also offers the promise of a cosmic victory that will "wipe away every tear" for all mankind. In telling this remarkable tale, Miles offers the shock of the familiar reframed and reimagined: --When Christ undergoes a baptism of repentance at the Jordan, it is God who is repenting. --Since no one can kill God, the Crucifixion is actually a sacred suicide. --When after preaching "turn the other cheek" Christ refuses to defend himself against his own enemies, what he means to say is that God will never again come militarily to any nation's rescue. The story ends in joy. Having assigned himself the role of Passover lamb, Christ, God Incarnate, expands God's covenant with Israel-the covenant of the original Passover-to include all the children of Adam and Eve. In the final scene of the New Testament, this covenant becomes a marriage in heaven. A writer of exceptional eloquence and imagination, profound literary sensibility, Jack Miles has captured once again the lost, fierce, ecstatic power of the greatest work in our literature., Following the brilliant success of his Pulitzer Prize-winning study of God as portrayed in the Old Testament--"God: A Biography"--Miles moves on to the New Testament and an equally stunning consideration of Christ.
