| Sommario/riassunto: | <span><span>MacDonald shows how Gospel stories parallel many Greek and Roman epics-from walking on water to visiting the land of the dead-to compel first-century readers into life-changing decisions to follow Jesus. MacDonald doesn't call into question the existence of Jesus but rather asks readers to examine the Gospels through a new, mythological lens.</span></span> |
