Saramago's Jesus Christ, considered blasphemous by some Orthodox Christians, is a highly spiritual character, but in all respects human, who embodies the concerns and sufferings of its universal condition of man. The son of God, from his birth in Bethlehem to death on Golgotha, faces the same experiences described in the Gospel, but told from a perspective here on earth, with a critical and logical sense. In this story there is no faith in miracles, but conscious of being at the mercy of the will power of a God father distant and indifferent to the pain it causes. The series of disasters, murders and deaths that dot the existence of Jesus, to not sought nor accepted the fulfillment of the sacrificial victim of fate, becomes an occasion to reflect on the contrast between good and evil, on the problems to the right by the unjust, sull'imperscrutabilità the meaning of human life and the bewildering ambiguity of the divine nature.
