About this product
Product Information
An award-winning writer reimagines the life of Jesus, from the points of view of four people closest to him before his death. This is the story of Yehoshuah, who wandered Roman-occupied Judea giving sermons and healing the sick. Now, a year after his death, four people tell their stories. His mother grieves, his friend Iehuda loses his faith, the High Priest of the Temple tries to keep the peace, and a rebel named Bar-Avo strives to bring that peace tumbling down. It was a time of political power plays and brutal tyranny. Men and women took to the streets to protest. Dictators put them down with iron force. In the midst of it all, one inconsequential preacher died. And either something miraculous happened, or someone lied. Viscerally powerful in its depictions of the period -- massacres and riots, animal sacrifice and human betrayal -- The Liars' Gospel makes the oldest story entirely new.

Vibrant descriptions....haunting prose.... Alderman transforms an ancient story into her own engaging meditation on power, oppression, and belief., Superb....The best-known story of all takes on messy, intricate, surging new life when freed from its biblical shackles in Naomi Alderman's reimagining., "Alderman re-creates with startling immediacy the culture of first-century Judea, with its political intrigue and riots, and with its characters wondering at what the life of Yehoshuah has meant to them."-- Kirkus, Provocative and mesmerizing....Alderman here succeeds magnificently.... The Liars' Gospel roots its characters firmly and vividly in their historical and political context., Head spinning perspectives on the life and times of Jesus, from a novelist who wields her pen like a sword., PRAISE FOR NAOMI ALDERMAN'S THE LIARS' GOSPEL "A visceral retelling of the events surrounding the life of Jesus.

Alderman transforms an ancient story into her own engaging meditation on power, oppression, and belief."-- Publishers Weekly, PRAISE FOR NAOMI ALDERMAN'S THE LIARS' GOSPEL "A visceral retelling of the events surrounding the life of Jesus.
