Only Begotten

Gary Glass

4.9/5 (20953 ratings)

Description:Before the myth, before the gospels, before the God, there was a life well-lived. Only Begotten tells the story of a man who lived so deeply that despite two thousand years of elaboration his humanity still shines through. In this novel, loosely based on the gospel of Mark and informed by modern historical scholarship, I've tried to reveal through the power of fiction the real truth of the human story at the heart of the myth. It's the story of a man who was broken by chance and lost in the wilderness, but found his way through hell to new life, a man who just by being true to himself acquired a following -- and fatal enemies. Only Begotten revisits many of the familiar set pieces of the good news -- and turns them inside out, just as Jesus stood the comfortable pieties of his friends' on their heads. I have tried in this book to show that it was the simple humanity, not the magical divinity, of this remarkable teacher that makes his story worth remembering even in an age of technological miracles and bitter cynicism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
