Description

Before the myth, before the gospels, before the God, there was a life well-lived. Only Begotten tells the story of a man who lived so deeply that despite two thousand years of elaboration his humanity still shines through. In this novel, loosely based on the gospel of Mark and informed by modern historical scholarship, I’ve tried to reveal through the power of fiction the real truth of the human story at the heart of the myth. It’s the story of a man who was broken by chance and lost in the wilderness, but found his way through hell to new life, a man who just by being true to himself acquired a following — and fatal enemies.
