Tosca
Lee is an excellent story teller. Her novel, ISCARIOT, A NOVEL OF JUDAS, combines biblical
Ms.
Lee introduces us to the character of Judas as a child who questions the role
of religion at an early age. This character, Judas, is consistently searching
for truth in religion and what others portray on their religious pursuits. He
is seen as very sensitive early on and at times, his sensitivity overwhelms him
to the point of becoming physically ill. As Christians, we are taught the story
of the resurrection and we rejoice at the meaning, and Judas is merely seen as
the catalyst that God used to save us. Ms. Lee has given Judas a descriptive
character that stirs emotions and deep thoughts in us.
ISCARIOT, A NOVEL OF JUDAS,
by Tosca Lee is well written, thought provoking and has us wondering throughout
the novel, what emotion Judas will exhibit next and how will it be connected to
the bible story that we know.
