The Gospel According to the Son by Norman Mailer on Audio Book Download

Following The New Testament closely, Norman Mailer recreates the life of Jesus and the Holy Land of 2,000 years ago. Jesus, a skilled and devout carpenter asks himself: Is God speaking to me? Do the voices I hear come from God? And if so, why has he chosen me? Meanwhile, the public world into which Jesus is thrust by his visions is governed by a complacent but fearful establishment that rules over a despairing middle class. As his sermons and miracles rock that world, the son of God emerges as a protagonist both divine and human, wracked by passion and doubt as he progresses inexorably toward his apocalyptic end.
