4.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating book,

This review is from: The Branch (Paperback)
This is NOT about the second coming of Christ, as the previous reviewer posted, but about the first coming of the Jewish Messiah told from a Jewish perspective, in a Science Fictional setting. In the novel, Resnick (who is Jewish) essentially explains why Jews do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and tells a sordid tale about a messiah who is an utter scoundrel, yet fits biblical prophecy much better than the messiah of the New Testament. It is very entertaining, and well worth reading.

This review is from: The Branch (Mass Market Paperback)
Read this soon after it came out. I continue to be surprised not to find it re-released. The topic (resurrection of Christ as a carnival side-show attraction) is original, funny, and thought-provoking....he just wants to be left alone, but the new-age version of the devil won't. Would love to see a sequel !!
