Plot introduction
editThe story offers a feminist perspective on the person of Christ and on the beginnings of the Christian Church.[3] Since it presents Jesus as merely a human being and deviates from the orthodox biblical portrayal of the Son of Man, the novel was severely criticised by mainstream Christians.[citation needed]
