Barabbas is a man condemned to have no god. "Christos Iesus" is carved on the disk suspended from his neck, but he cannot affirm his faith. He cannot pray. He can only say, "I want to believe." <p/>Translated from the Swedish by Alan Blair<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>'Swift, sparing, limpid, and hauntingly intense.' --Atlantic Monthly<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Its power is the power of a parable, with the same timeless echo." -- The New York Times <p/>"As a parable, Barabbas is open to many interpretations.
