Gesù in cinque sensi (Italian Edition)

Every step of the Gospels is an adventure of the senses. Jesus allows himself to be anointed with fragrant oils, mixes mud with his saliva, asks to be as tasty as salt, and offers his own flesh to be eaten. Each episode in his story opens up to controversial interpretations. And the first to misunderstand him are the disciples themselves. After recounting with a cinematic flair the movements, speeches, and journeys of the "character" Jesus, Antonio Spadaro returns to confront the gospel texts and undertakes a new and surprising reading of them. Through exquisitely literary lenses, he brings to life a universe of sounds and smells, tactile sensations and images, which speak of the nuances of human existence and the danger of freedom. The Master is not a divine replicant parachuted onto the earth to be the spokesman of the Eternal. He claims to be truly God and fully human. But flesh alone is not enough to be human: freedom is necessary. From these pages, Jesus breaks through the "fourth wall," turns to the readers, and asks them: "But who do you say that I am?"
