Publisher's Synopsis
In How to Write a Gospel Robert Crompton tells the story of his search among the narratives of the Bible for a believable Jesus. A Jesus, that is, who could figure in the sort of story which Robert enjoys writing and reading. It isn't a search for the historical Jesus. Actual historical evidence may be forever lost, but real possibilities may present themselves. So this is simply a search for a novelist's Jesus. A novelist, that is, who tries always to be a feet-on-the-ground storyteller whose constant mantra is, could this actually happen?
