The Gospel According to Jesus Christ: extraordinary. Bitingly satirical but brimming with humanity. The Jesus in this book might only bear a passing resemblance to the one in the other gospels but it's a convincing portrait of someone who has divinity thrust upon them; the power hungry God drunk with blood certainly chimes with the one in the old testament. Very good on the subjugation of women too.
