Fictional biography of Jesus of Nazareth. Aware of previous disastrous attempts to drive out the Romans from Palestine and establish a Jewish Kingdom of God, Jesus goes into the wilderness to ask God for guidance. The answer is that he should avert future disasters by teaching the Kingdom of God is an internal, not political state. After a slow start, his movement grows until the Jewish religious hierarchy begins to perceive him as a threat: if a person can seek God internally, why are priests necessary.? At the same time God warns him that the size of his movement may alarm the Romans; if he sacrifices himself, the Romans will think that by removing the movement's leader they won't have to worry about the movement. Jesus therefore offers himself for crucifixion.
