Book Review
«The Last Temptation of Christ» by Nikos Kazantzakis is a profound and provocative work that reimagines the life and mission of Jesus Christ. Critics note that Kazantzakis boldly explores the human side of Christ, his doubts, fears, and temptations. The author portrays Jesus not only as a divine figure but also as a man who struggles with internal conflicts and seeks to understand his role in the world. This elicits mixed reactions: some admire the depth and courage of the author, while others criticize the departure from the canonical image. In any case, the book leaves a strong impression and prompts reflection on the nature of faith and human frailty.
