Book, The novel depicts the life of Jesus and his struggles with various forms of temptation, including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance, and lust. "According to the English translator, Peter A. Bien, the psychology in The Last Temptation is based on the idea that every person, Jesus included, is evil by nature as well as good, violent and hateful as well as loving. A psychologically sound individual does not ignore or bury the evil within him. Instead, he channels it into the service of good." The book was condemned by both the Catholic and Greek Orthodox hierarchies, as was the film produced by Martin Scorsese in 1988. 519p. Very Good +.
