{"product_id":"the-gaze-of-jesus-9781621645726","title":"The Gaze of Jesus","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Let me be with you!\" Homeless, living for years in a state of demonic insanity, Ithamar one day spots a mysterious man on the shore, runs to him, and finds himself wholly cured. But when he begs this healer to take him as a disciple, he is rejected and ordered to go home. Jesus and his entourage sail off toward the horizon without him. Why was he turned away--and how can he begin a new life?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight-time Nobel Prize nominee Riccardo Bacchelli imagines the life of the Gerasene demoniac after his exorcism: his inner battles, his return to the family and the first-century Jewish community, his quest for love and meaning. The healer's gaze has been branded into his mind, but he cannot grasp who this man really is. As he gathers secondhand news of the Galilean miracle worker, he is determined to piece together the puzzle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElegantly translated and introduced by Anthony Esolen, \u003ci\u003eThe Gaze of Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping psychological, historical, and theological investigation into what it takes for the \"uncalled\" to follow Christ, to seek the face of Jesus from a distance. Bacchelli offers a vivid and visceral experience of the world of the New Testament, including some elaborate character studies of the Bible's darkest figures: Herod, Herodias, and Judas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621645726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.40w x 1.40d","brand":"Riccardo Bacchelli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42729557786805,"sku":"9781621645726","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_54bc7c30-d844-406d-b0a5-3dcb911c671c.jpg?v=1675803628","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-gaze-of-jesus-9781621645726","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
