Benyamin's The Second Book of Prophets is a fictional account of the life of Jesus Christ

- Aditya Mani Jha

In Benyamin's novel The Second Book of Prophets (a re-imagining of the lives of Jesus Christ and his followers), there's a scene where Jesus is struggling to overcome a moment of self-doubt. The Jews think of him as a saviour foretold. But Jesus himself doesn't believe that true freedom (religious or political) can be achieved without a transformation of society, in a way that protects the poor masses.
