Christ's Journal by Paul Alexander Bartlett
"Christ's Journal" by Paul Alexander Bartlett is a historical novel written in the late 20th century. The book presents a unique and introspective portrayal of the final months of Jesus Christ's life from His own perspective, focusing on His thoughts, feelings, and experiences as He carries out His ministry in an ancient Biblical setting. This fictional account delves deeply into the emotions surrounding key events, showcasing the personal, spiritual, and societal challengesfaced by the central figure of Christianity. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Jesus as He begins to reflect on His life while writing in a journal. The opening entries depict His peaceful moments filled with nature and family memories, interspersed with powerful encounters where He heals the sick and shares poignant teachings with those around Him. From the joy of performing miracles, like healing a long-term paralytic named Simeon, to the profound sorrow stemming from the death of His cousin John the Baptist, Jesus's journey is portrayed in a relatable and emotionally rich manner. His interactions with the people, including intimate moments with His disciples and the broader crowds, reveal His struggle between personal desires and the immense responsibilities of His divine purpose. The opening section deftly sets the tone for an exploration of faith, love, and the human condition as Jesus prepares for His ultimate sacrifice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
