The Brook Kerith is a novel written by George Moore, originally published in 1916. The book tells the story of a man named Jesus, who is depicted as a historical figure rather than a religious one. The novel is set in Syria during the first century AD, and follows Jesus as he struggles with his own beliefs and teachings, as well as the political and social climate of the time. The story is told from the perspective of a fictional character named Simon, who is a disciple of Jesus. Throughout the book, Simon witnesses the miracles performed by Jesus, and becomes increasingly conflicted about his own faith. The Brook Kerith is a thought-provoking and introspective novel that explores themes of religion, spirituality, and morality. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the historical figure of Jesus, or in the intersection of religion and literature.1916. Irish novelist, playwright, poet and critic, his epic The Brook Kerith begins: It was at the end of a summer evening, long after his usual bedtime, that Joseph, sitting on his grandmother's knee, heard her tell that Kish having lost his asses sent Saul, his son, to seek them in the land of the Benjamites and the land of Shalisha, whither they might have started. But they were not in these lands, Son, she continued, nor in Zulp, whither Saul went afterwards, and being then tired out with looking for them he said to the servant: we shall do well to forget the asses, lest my father should ask what has become of us.
