From JESUS' SON: STORIES, Harper Perennial, 1993. I'll be honest: I don't really like Denis Johnson. This, his only short story collection, is unfathomably out of print in the UK. As he enters the gates, Jesus sees a procession leaving the town and carrying a dead man, the only son of a mother who is a widow. Stories Jesus Told: The Persistent Widow Stories Jesus Told: The Wise and Foolish Builders. Jesus' Son (1992) has perhaps as much claim to be a novel as a collection of stories. The eleven sections of Jesus’ Son are relentless. There was nothing of his I wanted in particular. My first contact with Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son was reading “Steady Hands” when it came out in Esquire. He connects his story to larger universal stories and illustrates these stories with hundreds of edited film clips and projected Integrating hundreds of film clips and photographic images into a theatrical celebration of the Cinematic Savior, it's the tale of two epic heroes on a search for transcendence: Jesus, the Son of God -- Mike, the son of a TV writer. With the death of her only son, the widow in our story was once again victimized. Starring Billy Crudup, Samantha Morton, 1999. The Orthodox Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version. As you know, the story is just a couple of pages of dialogue, almost completely free of the other elements of scene. When prophet Mohammed came after hundreds of years after Jesus, he did not have to prove Jesus existed because everyone at that time knew. Think about the parable of the Prodigal Son. The Vatican was built upon the grounds previously devoted to the worship of Mithra (600 B.C.). So this guy walks into a dark room. He sits down and for 70 minutes tells a story about his own life. Jesus - a Reincarnation of Mithra. But that all changed when Jesus entered her life and brought her son back to her.
