"The Last Temptation of Christ" was a MUCH better book..... but the movie is good too on the off chance you won't be picking up the book anytime soon.

Part 1 on the play list:

The Last Temptation of Christ- Part 1 - YouTube


This book drastically changed the way I saw things, but perhaps that is a topic for another thread.

All I can say is that it made me view things a lot differently from the way I read more allegorically to putting myself directly and deeply, into the Gospels and the Bible at large, after being drawn in and rode out the waves of the book's words. Nikos Kazantzakis is the man!

NK's style is a bit old... but of ALL his books I've read this one is on the easy side.
The plot isn't hard to follow since you pretty much know it and imo, it's just a matter of absorbing the point he's trying to lay out there. Also.. it's not that big if memory serves me correctly.

This is one of my MUST READ books for anyone who is on a spiritual trip.

Years ago I saw a movie called, Joshua. (There's also a horror movie by the same name.)

It was not a retelling of the biblical accounts of the life of Jesus. Instead, it was a story of a modern-day Jesus arriving in small town in the U.S.

I liked it very much, as it was a simple presentation of a simple way of being -- including the benefits that simply Being Love brought to the community, as well as the difficulties that can arise when "authority over spirituality" seems to be challenged.

The portrayal of Jesus in the movie is very similar to the way that I picture him -- strong enough to be very gentle.
