Christ The Lord – The Road To Cana
by
Anne Rice
This is an Unabridged Audio book in Mint condition still sealed.
“In Rice's beautifully observed novel, a sequel to 2005's Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, however, the wedding miracle is in fact the culmination of an intimate family saga of love, sorrow and misunderstanding. This book, imagining the "lost" young adulthood of Jesus, offers wise and haunting speculation where the Bible is silent. Rice undertakes a delicate balance: if it is possible to create a character that is simultaneously fully human and fully divine, as ancient Christian creeds assert, then Rice succeeds.”— Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"Painstakingly researched historical fiction. Rice's Christ is both convincing and compelling." — Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"Excellent historical fiction with sensitive, humanizing religious interpretation." — Booklist
The book’s power derives from the passion its author brings to the writing and the way in which she summons up the voice, the presence, and the words of Jesus who tells the story.
Synopsis
Anne Rice's second book in her hugely ambitious and courageous life of Christ begins during his last winter before his baptism in the Jordan and concludes with the miracle at Cana.
It is a novel in which we see Jesus — he is called Yeshua bar Joseph — during a winter of no rain, endless dust, and talk of trouble in Judea. Legends of a Virgin birth have long surrounded Yeshua, yet for decades he has lived as one among many who come to the synagogue on the Sabbath. All who know and love him find themselves waiting for some sign of the path he will eventually take.
And at last we see him emerge from his baptism to confront his destiny — and the Devil. We see what happens when he takes the water of six great limestone jars, transforms it into cool red wine, is recognized as the anointed one, and urged to call all Israel to take up arms against Rome and follow him as the prophets have foretold.
As with Out of Egypt, the opening novel, The Road to Cana is based on the Gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship. The book's power derives from the profound feeling its author brings to the writing and the way in which she summons up the presence of Jesus.
