Nobel laureate François Mauriac's Life of Jesus (Vie de Jésus) is a profound character study that blends biblical narrative with the author's signature visceral style. It highlights Jesus as a truly human being, a brother to others, bearing divinity, taking the reader through his public ministry, passion, death, and resurrection in a contemplative, episodic structure. Written in an intimate and artistic literary style, it focuses on Jesus' emotions and emotional experiences. The work is considered instrumental in the shift in modern Catholic theology, which emphasizes Jesus as a pilgrim with the oppressed.
