In rewriting the story of Jesus and concentrating on the middle years of his life rather than his birth and death, I wanted to present him as a man who was finally able to offer us ideals to strive for. He dies on the cross unaware of his own divinity and yet the people recognise he is divine and follow his teachings until the edifice of the Church takes them around the globe so that his goodness echoes throughout the centuries. A faith is created only if the people are willing to accept and believe in that faith.
