About This Item
U.S.A.: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2003. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 1st impression, 1st US edition with unclipped dust jacket. No inscription very clean throughout. Overseas buyers please note additional postal charges will apply. In Testament, Canadian author Nino Ricci tells a fictionalized account of Jesus's life, focusing on him as a man. The novel is divided into four sections, each told by a different person in his life. The different narrators are Judas, Mary Magdalene, his mother Mary, and Simon, a young Syrian shepherd. The author couples his fanciful story of Jesus as a mere mortal becoming myth with a realistic depiction of political and ethnic intrigue of the era. It's an approach that some will find blasphemous and others will find thought-provoking. The Christian Science Monitor says, "Nino Ricci's Testament deserves a wide audience and should ignite vigorous debate.
