About this deal

At this point Karl knows he must make a critical decision. After all, he would be bringing a myth to life, not changing history so much as infusing more depth and substance into history. And as Monica was always in the habit of telling him, he lived with unresolved obsessions and had an abnormal messiah complex. This has a very retro feel about it. It's the 60s, man, a time of beatnik philosophy. People psychologically grappling with their own sanity as they explore ideas about what it means to be human. Church Slavonic: "'жених в полунощи '", romanized: zhenikh v polunoshchi, lit.'the bridegroom at midnight'. [14] Church Slavonic: "'Се Жених грядет в полунощи '", romanized: Se Zhenikh gryadet v polunoshchi, lit.'Behold the Bridegroom comes at midnight'. [15] "During Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of Holy Week, we celebrate Bridegroom Matins. We sing: 'Behold, the Bridegroom is coming … '". [16]

Ecce homo ( / ˈ ɛ k s i ˈ h oʊ m oʊ/, Ecclesiastical Latin: [ˈettʃe ˈomo], Classical Latin: [ˈɛkkɛ ˈhɔmoː]; "behold the man") are the Latin words used by Pontius Pilate in the Vulgate translation of the Gospel of John, when he presents a scourged Jesus, bound and crowned with thorns, to a hostile crowd shortly before his Crucifixion (John 19:5). The original New Testament Greek: " ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄνθρωπος", romanized: "idoù ho ánthropos", is rendered by most English Bible translations, e.g. the Douay-Rheims Bible and the King James Version, as "behold the man". [a] The scene has been widely depicted in Christian art. Pilate also had a notice written and fastened on the cross. It read, “Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews.” The blurb is kind of spoilery, so all you need to know is that this book is about someone time traveling to see Jesus while his time there is paralleled with pieces of his earlier life that showcase his relationship to religion and his self-esteem issues.This is the essential paradox of the life of Jesus. It is based on a central idea - that ideas are created by actions. We are, or more accurately become, what we do and those we do it with. That is to say, we are deeply superficial. There is nothing real about us aside from the way we act with each other. So Karl attracted crowds not for what he said but for how he acted: “It was his sympathy that they responded to, rather than the words he spoke.” And this way of acting had a remarkable effect: “For the first time in his life, Karl Glogauer had forgotten about Karl Glogauer.” Macaronic Latin / Ecce Mono ( Spanish for 'Behold the monkey'). Exemplary of an accidental damage of art. Christ The Bridegroom: 'Behold, the Bridegroom is coming...' ". Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Parma: Christ the Bridegroom Monastery. April 2009. Archived from the original on 1 August 2018 . Retrieved 3 April 2019. Matthew 9:15; 25:1–13; Mark 2:19; Luke 5:34–35, 12:35–36. "[T]he Church is presented as His wife and bride": John 2:9–10, 3:29, Ephesians 5:24–27; Revelation 21:9. [17]

Most of all, I am deeply humbled and very happy to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where millions of men, women, and children are willing to lift where they stand—in whatever capacity or calling—and strive with all their hearts to serve God and His children, building the kingdom of God. So Jesus came out, wearing the wreath of thorns and the crimson cloak. And Pilate said to them, "See, there is the man."

The novel is about Karl Glogauer who finds a way to make a one way trip into the past to find out the "truth" about Jesus. The story treats Mary and Joseph in a very negative way, Mary being almost a "whore" and Joseph treating the virgin conception as...well, he doesn't believe it. Jesus is born a deformed and mentally challenged individual who can barely express himself, repeating his name over and over. Glogauer gets involved and tries to "stage manage" the biblical story and ends being crucified.... The reasoning concerned or used here not only insults Christian belief, but shows a total misunderstanding of The Crucifixion, resurrection, and redemption. Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers also twisted together a crown of thorns and placed it on his head. Then they threw a purple robe around him. 3 They kept coming to him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they kept hitting him in the face. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother!” And from that time this disciple took her into his own home.
