Written in the form of a moving story, set in Jerusalem on the day Jesus was
crucified, this is a study of Christianity's central theme - Christ's
crucifixion. The book was written in the Islamic world and shows its profound
significance for a devout Muslim.;The author sees Christ as a great prophet
needlessly killed, but the indictment for his death falls not on any race or
nation, rather it indicates the failure of collective human conscience and
thus speaks to the condition of our own times and to humankind as a community.
