I just submitted the Gospel According to the Son by Norman Mailer.
Jesus turns out to be just the sort of character one would expect to find in a
Norman Mailer novel. He is embarrassed by his Jewish mother and complains
that God the Father barely speaks to him. He questions his success in healing
the sick and struggles with his growing celebrity. Worse, he waffles on crucial
issues like voluntary poverty, alienating Judas and other hardcore
revolutionaries. Of particular interest is the central role Mailer assigns to
Satan.
Jesus believes that God and Satan are equally matched and that neither one will
ever get the upper hand.
Enjoy.

you this warning that you may prepare your mind for your fate.
