A Personal Jesus - Hardcover
A 'Personal Jesus' takes the life of Jesus as Upton Sinclair imagines him to be. Sinclair breaks up this novel into 3 sections - youth, mission and spirit. Again, he delves into religion and leaves his usual path of politics. As Sinclair says in the preface "the story of Jesus cannot be told without controversy, for controversy is the very essence of it". As a reviewer said "Sinclair was a giant and this novel comes close to who Jesus was as a person than any scholarly account. And this is Sinclair's magic. A Collector's Edition.
