Behold the Man

Karl Glogauer is a dissatisfied twentieth-century man troubled by religious doubt, failed relationships, and a fascination with the figure of Jesus. Through time travel, he arrives in first-century Judea and encounters the historical Jesus, whose reality differs sharply from the messianic story Karl expected. The novel uses this premise to examine faith, identity, myth, and the burden of becoming a symbol for others.
