Overview

""Yehoshuah of Nazareth"" traces the life of a young Jewish initiate, later known as Jesus, considered the founder of Christianity. This novel immerses the reader in first-century Palestine, a land occupied by the Romans and marked by social, political, and religious tensions. Born in the modest village of Nazareth, Yehoshuah grows up surrounded by his loving family: his mother Miriam, his father Joseph, and his siblings. As he learns the traditions and religious teachings of the synagogue, he begins to question the structures of power and the injustices he perceives. Over the years, Yehoshuah forms friendships with young people who share his revolutionary ideals, such as Simon, and meets mentors like John the Baptist. His early actions against local injustices and his sermons in Galilee quickly draw crowds, fascinated by his vision of a society based on justice, compassion, and solidarity. However, his growing popularity alarms the religious and Roman authorities. Despite threats and plots, Yehoshuah continues his path, preaching and healing, until his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. There, he challenges the powerful by driving the merchants out of the Temple, an action that seals his fate. The novel also explores the human and personal dimension of Yehoshuah, notably through his relationship with Maria of Magdala, who becomes his companion and loyal disciple. Together, they dream of a future where their child could live in a fairer world. ""Yehoshuah of Nazareth"" offers an intimate and undogmatic look at the life of an exceptional man whose teachings and actions have profoundly marked history. Through this narrative, the reader discovers the man behind the mythical figure, a passionate and determined human being, ready to sacrifice himself for his ideals. ""Yehoshuah of Nazareth"" is a journey through the history of a human soul. It provides a new and human perspective on one of the most influential figures in history, stripped of the exoteric interpretations that have obscured the message.
