The Gospel According to Jesus Christ (original title: O Evangelho Segundo Jesus Cristo, 1991) is a novel by the Portuguese author José Saramago. It is a fictional re-telling of Jesus Christ's life, depicting him as a flawed, humanised character with passions and doubts. The novel proved controversial,[1] especially to representatives of the Roman Catholic Church, with the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano accusing Saramago of having a "substantially anti-religious vision".[2] It was praised by other critics as a "deeply philosophical, provocative and compelling work".[3] After the conservative Portuguese government blocked the book's nomination for the European Literary Prize, Saramago left his homeland (and lived out his days on the Canary Islands).
