In The Diary of Jesus Christ, Jesuit Bill Cain brings his talents as a playwright to reimagine familiar gospel stories from the perspective of Jesus. When did Jesus know he was the one? Why did he call the odd group of disciples to follow him? Was Magdalene his disciple or his teacher? Did all of those healings come easily or was there a cost? What did it feel like to die-and to rise? Along the way, we are surprised and moved by the emotional and spiritual immediacy of these stories, and by the opportunity to meet, with new eyes, the central narrator of this "diary," whose self-understanding and sense of mission unfold on the journey.
