Meet Karl Glogauer, time traveller and unlikely Messiah. When he finds himself in Palestine in the year 29AD, he is shocked to meet the man known as Jesus Christ—a drooling idiot, hiding in the shadows of the carpenter's shop in Nazareth.

But if he is not capable of fulfilling his historical role, then who will take his place?

Behold The Man by Michael Moorcock explores this intriguing scenario with depth and originality.
