The novel depicts the life of Jesus and his struggles with various forms of temptation, including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance, and lust.<br></div><div><div><br></div><div>Upon its publication, the book was condemned by the Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church; it has since been challenged by numerous Christian groups and conservative organizations. The 1988 film adaptation directed by Martin Scorsese was similarly controversial.</div><div><br></div><div>“Kazantzakis struggled mightily to find truth in the fiction of the Gospels. The truth he sought eluded him… The most prominent truth…is one he would likely be loath to own; the truth told by his fiction is that the Gospels are a fiction.” – Stephen R.
